About the Client

Small Home Communities is a visionary organization based in Ontario, Canada, focused on developing compact, sustainable, and affordable housing solutions. Their goal is to bring dignified, community-oriented housing to underserved areas by working with local municipalities, social service organizations, and residents. As their initiative gained traction, they needed a central online platform to unite their efforts and speak to diverse audiences.

The Client's Problem

The organization was simultaneously navigating funding applications, zoning approvals, and public awareness campaigns. Without a centralized website, they lacked a credible, accessible space to:

  • Present their mission and long-term vision to government stakeholders and funders
  • Educate the public and local communities on the benefits of small home living
  • Attract and inform potential buyers and renters about upcoming developments
  • Provide a professional presence that matched the sophistication of their work

The Process & Solution

MoonSoar developed a WordPress website designed to speak clearly to multiple audiences with different needs:

  • Created a clean, branded website that emphasizes values of affordability, sustainability, and community
  • Structured pages to support specific communication goals: a page for municipalities and funders, a community FAQ, and future project listings for prospective residents
  • Integrated forms to collect interest from buyers and renters as well as inquiries from potential municipal partners
  • Optimized the site for search engines and mobile devices, knowing many stakeholders would access the site via mobile
  • Designed flexible content blocks that could evolve as the initiative progresses from pilot to build

The Client's Results

  • Small Home Communities now has a professional platform to support grant applications, policy discussions, and community outreach
  • The site builds legitimacy with public sector partners while remaining accessible to individual renters and buyers
  • The site has streamlined engagement with municipalities, media, and prospective residents alike
  • Early engagement has confirmed that stakeholders are using the site as a go-to reference for information and updates
