Saving Grace — Central Oregon Support & Advocacy
Project Overview
Saving Grace is a Central Oregon nonprofit dedicated to offering safety, hope, and healing to survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault through shelter, advocacy, legal support, and community education. As the primary provider of violence support services in the region, their website needed to clearly communicate complex, sensitive information in a way that felt compassionate, trustworthy, and easy to navigate for people in crisis or seeking help. saving-grace.org
Coyote Moon Creative partnered with Saving Grace to design and build a Squarespace website that supports both survivors and the broader community. The goal was to create a clear, organized, and empathetic digital experience that makes resources, support options, and next steps immediately accessible — while also supporting ongoing needs like donor engagement and volunteer outreach.

Client Goals
The website redesign and ongoing work centered on several key objectives:
Clearly communicate mission, services, and support resources
Create a compassionate, trustworthy online presence
Make critical information easy to find under stress
Support community engagement, volunteering, and donations
Ensure the site is accessible and easy for internal updates
Design & Development Approach
The site was built on Squarespace with a strong emphasis on clarity, hierarchy, and emotional accessibility. Design decisions were intentionally simple and structured, allowing visitors — including those in crisis — to quickly find the help they need without distraction.
Key elements of the build included:
Clear navigation to support quick access to resources and support options
Intuitive layout with accessible typography and spacing
Responsive, mobile-ready design for visitors on the go
Support for community engagement elements like volunteer info and sponsors
Backend simplicity to empower the organization to update content internally
Rather than decorative complexity, the emphasis was on functional clarity — enabling visitors to find help, understand services, and connect with support seamlessly.
Results & Outcome
The finished Squarespace website provides Saving Grace with a compassionate, dependable digital platform that supports survivors, families, and community members. It clearly communicates services and resources, reinforces trust, and strengthens the nonprofit’s ability to engage volunteers, donors, and partners.
