Education Service Provider Website - Face-lift Needed

ISESMN.org OR Innovative Special Education Services of Minnesota

ISES is a small nonprofit organization based in St. Paul, MN. We act as special education directors for charter schools throughout the state. It is required by law that each school has one. We are looking for a classy and modern looking website. We want something that looks sophisticated, clean and is user friendly. We charge more than all of our competitors and we want it to look like we have reason to do so but our current website lacks function and charisma. We are open to your ability and creativity.

For more information about our organization, take a look at our current website:

The ISES Vision: To be recognized as an innovative leader that provides the highest quality of special education directorship to charter schools throughout Minnesota. We will also be the partner of choice for institutions seeking to build exceptional special education programs.

Our target audience will be school administrators and special education teachers. General goal through the website is to create and enhance company/brand image and awareness thus resulting in an increase in the number of contract schools. We will market our services and our other key value drivers.
