New First Children’s Finance CDFI Website Helps Childcare Entrepreneurs Take their First Steps
Minneapolis, June 21, 2021 – MVP Marketing + Design, Inc., a Minneapolis Digital Agency serving clients throughout North America and worldwide, is proud to announce the completion of a new custom-tailored website for First Children’s Finance. Based in Minneapolis, MN, First Children Finance (FCF), a nationally recognized nonprofit, has helped individuals and communities for more than 30 years by increasing the availability, affordability and quality of early childcare funding and education throughout the United States.
As a CDFI (Community Development Finance Institution), FCF provides loans and assistance to entrepreneurs; partners with communities; and influences state and federal systems to increase support for childcare businesses. With an extensive collection of stellar professional services sites for private equity, M&A and mezzanine capital firms, MVP’s related experience made it an ideal match for this finance-oriented non-profit.
MVP collaborated closely with FCF to create a site that would delight current visitors and attract new ones. The site has three main categories: businesses, communities and systems. These funnels get the right information quickly to every type of visitor. For users that are ready to take next steps, the homepage also has CTAs above the menu to “Apply for a Loan” or “Donate.”
Every MVP website follows SEO best practices and in the case of FCF, the redesigned site helps attract new loan applicants and sources of grant money.
The look and feel of the site is just as important as the content. MVP’s fonts complement impactful imagery to create an experience that inspires action.
And for the best foundation, the site is built on a custom-designed WordPress CMS (Content Management System). This makes minor and major website updates extremely simple and intuitive for any FCF team member.
Jerry Cutts, President and CEO, said this about the project, “This update is even more impressive than we hoped. We love pointing everyone from owner-entrepreneurs to state and local agencies as well as foundations to the new site! Big thanks for all the help MVP gave us every step of the way.”
Said MVP’s President and CEO Dick Weinrib “We were proud to work on a project with an organization that does so much for children, the future of our country. The new site will amplify FCF’s work by reaching more visitors with tailored content that is highlighted by the kind of imagery that makes people feel good. What a huge opportunity for us to build a brand for a great cause and a CDFI that’s doing the social good.”
