Hi! I have used this site for the company I work for and I love it! I am also the volunteer event planner for a non-profit called Power Paws of Arizona. Power Paws is dedicated to empowering people with disabilities for greater independence. We provide specialized programs including service dogs, guide dogs, hearing dogs, home helpmates, social dogs and therapy dogs. We also train puppy handlers and have a high school assistance dog program that helps at risk teens learn empathy, unconditional love and responsibility while learning to train highly skilled assistance dogs.
We want to redesign our website and come up with a central theme that can carry over to our brochures and other marketing materials. We need a home page and secondary page design. The site will be used for many things, information on the organization, upcoming events, news, services, donations, a private password section for Power Paws volunteers & employees, etc.
You can check out our website at
