The Brief
A vibrant, established, much-loved charity needed to grow reach beyond social media, build credibility, and scale their platform without becoming dependent on an agency. Without a website to support their brand and mission, Motif was struggling with visibility for events, poets, and supporters, in other words, their whole mission. Social media alone had become a ceiling, not a strategy, and Motif needed something cost-effective and easy to manage, on their own terms.
No website presence
Reliant on social alone
No self-managed platform
The Approach
A Webflow site built to mirror Motif's visual identity and mission, fun, authentic, credible. SEO went in to build online authority around poetry and event-related searches, there was a whole community out there waiting to find them. Alongside audience growth, an easy, effective fundraising pathway was built in, because every penny counts. Publishing tools for events, articles, and updates meant no ongoing costs or dependence on a third party, a totally self-supported site was the whole point.
SEO for poetry & event terms
Built-in fundraising
Self-managed publishing tools
The outcome
Clever page organisation means Motif Poetry now owns several key event and poetry search terms, and the charity is established as a leading voice in NZ's poetry community, online and in real life. The team manages a simple site with no fear of breaking it, at meaningfully reduced long-term operating cost, and Motif's website now grows and scales alongside the charity's mission.
