Creating Accessible, Mission-Driven Websites with Maiya Holliday at Mangrove

Maiya Holliday builds websites that make it easier for good people to do great work. And no, these aren’t just your corporate, run-of-the-mill, cookie cutter websites. These sites are built with accessibility at the forefront, making it easier for everyone to succeed and allowing businesses to reach new customers.

Through her background in international development and nonprofit work, Maiya noticed many organizations lacked functioning websites and a sustainable web presence. As society became more dependent on the internet, many organizations were falling behind, unable to keep up with current trends and spread their mission with the masses.

Maiya took matters into her own hands, teaching herself how to code and develop websites. Eventually, she founded Mangrove, a purpose driven digital design agency. Mangrove finds success in helping conscious companies tell their story in a meaningful way, while also making websites accessible for all to experience.

What You Will Discover: 

✔️ Accessibility does not mean sacrifice. It’s possible to create beautiful, high-performing websites that are accessible for all. For example, think of someone who is blind. Can your website cater to that person? Mangrove designs with everyone in mind, whether they are disabled or not, to create a more accessible web and empower customers around the globe.

✔️ Don’t go the cheap route. Like it or not, the world depends on the internet. If you haven’t taken the time to improve your website, you are likely missing out on a large amount of potential customers or donors. Take the time and invest in a website that will not only tell your organization’s story, but makes the customers the hero of the journey, creating a satisfying and memorable experience. 

✔️ B Corps are changing the world. B Corp is a third party certification created by the nonprofit B Lab to identify companies that have met high levels of performance, accountability, and transparency in the areas of our environment, community, employees and customers. Mangrove became a certified B Corp in 2016, and they continue to push their standards of excellence to create a lasting impact in the web design industry.

✔️ Don’t be afraid of growth. Mangrove started small in 2009, but it has evolved into an international corporation thanks to Maiya being comfortable with change. Things can happen fast these days, but if you take the time to set goals and evaluate your processes, substantial growth can happen in the blink of an eye, allowing your mission to spread to potential customers or donors around the globe.
