ABOUT THE CLIENT

We are the Laborers’ International Union of North America, Local 777. We are more than 12,000 working men and women fighting for better wages, benefits, and safer job sites.

Our membership is made up of a wide range of occupations—gardeners to secretaries, food service workers to nurses, custodians to 911 dispatchers, construction laborers to courtroom assistants. It is this diversity that makes us unique—it is where we get our power. As a LIUNA member, we need you, and we want you to become an active participant in your Union.

THE PROJECT

LiUNA contacted us about designing a new website for its members. Their current website used one of the popular “union website” template vendors. These union website companies use cookie-cutter templates that look tired and dated. The client has zero ability to customize their design and as a result, their website ends up looking like the hundreds of other websites these companies host. 

LiUNA needed a website that was simple, professional, allowed members access to password-protected features and had a front-end that was suitable for their marketing effort. The website we developed allows members to log into a password-protected area and view: event calendars; announcements; PDF document library (for MOU’s, contracts, etc), e-commerce integration. 

One awesome feature of this website is the ability for members to purchase union items directly through their dashboard.
