Capturing Hope

SOS Children’s Villages Illinois provides a unique model of foster care where children receive the opportunity to live and thrive in nurturing, stable, single-family homes with a full-time, professionally-trained Foster Parent.

The project focused on transitioning the website of SOS Children’s Villages Illinois from semi-responsive to an adaptable, energetic resource hub that keeps visitors connected with the lives and stories of those at the core of their mission. The innovative approach to traditional foster care by SOS Children’s Villages Illinois, along with ArtVersion’s experience in building brand identity, was a perfect match.

Interactive tools and functionality provided users with more flexibility (and less friction) to learn about the company’s Foster Parent application process. A more pronounced brand identity emerged.
