Building Community Through Design: The Rhinelander Kiwanis Website Project
At Northwoods Web Designs, we believe that great websites do more than inform—they inspire action, foster connection, and reflect the heart of the organizations they represent. That’s why we were honored to partner with the Kiwanis Club of Rhinelander to design and develop their new website: rhinelanderkiwanis.org.
This project wasn’t just about pixels and code—it was about building a digital home for a mission-driven organization working to uplift children and families in our community.
Understanding the Vision
The Kiwanis Club’s current initiative—a $1.6 million fundraising campaign to build an inclusive playground and splash pad at Hodag Park—is a bold and beautiful vision for Rhinelander. Their goal is to create a space where children of all abilities can play, grow, and thrive together.
Our job was to translate that vision into a website that:
- Clearly communicates the project’s purpose and impact
- Encourages donations and community involvement
- Reflects the warmth, inclusivity, and energy of the Kiwanis mission
Design That Serves
We approached the design with accessibility and clarity at the forefront. The site features:
- A clean, mobile-friendly layout that adapts seamlessly across devices
- Bold calls to action for donating, volunteering, and exploring the virtual tour
- ADA-conscious design choices, ensuring the site is usable by all visitors
- Custom branding elements that echo the spirit of play and community
Every section—from the fundraising thermometer to the donor recognition tiers—was crafted to make giving easy and meaningful.
Development Highlights
Behind the scenes, we built the site on a secure, scalable platform that allows the Kiwanis team to update content as the project evolves. Features include:
- Online donation integration
- Contact forms for volunteers and inquiries
- SEO optimization to boost visibility and reach
- Fast-loading pages for smooth user experience
We also ensured the site is future-ready, with room to grow as the playground and splash pad come to life.
A Lasting Impact
This website is more than a digital brochure—it’s a rallying point for a community movement. We’re proud to support the Kiwanis Club in their mission to serve children and families, and we’re excited to see the joy this project will bring to generations of Rhinelander residents.
