Live Like John

Problem to Solve

‍Live Like John is a nonprofit foundation based in Beaverton, Oregon, created to continue the legacy of John Cowan — a beloved community figure whose life was rooted in generosity, service, and connection. Before partnering with Jolly Web Consulting, the foundation lacked a modern and effective digital presence. They needed a purpose-driven website to clearly communicate their mission, share John’s story, and make it easier for supporters to engage through donations, events, and volunteer opportunities.

‍

History of the Client

‍Founded by friends and family of John Cowan, the Live Like John Foundation is a reflection of his life and values. With deep roots in the Beaverton community, the foundation organizes events, awards scholarships, and funds charitable initiatives that reflect John’s spirit of kindness and selflessness. As the foundation grew, they recognized the need for professional Beaverton web design services to support their outreach and impact online.

‍

Audience

‍The website was built to serve donors, volunteers, and community members across Beaverton and beyond — many of whom are not digital natives. These users come to the site seeking inspiration, connection, and clear pathways to get involved. As such, the platform needed to be user-friendly, mobile-optimized, and emotionally engaging.

‍

Mission

‍The mission of Live Like John is to encourage people to live with compassion, purpose, and generosity. By honoring John Cowan’s legacy, the foundation aims to foster community, elevate local causes, and remind people to live with heart. The new website needed to reflect this mission while creating a seamless digital experience for supporters.

‍

Process

‍Jolly Web Consulting provided full-service Beaverton web design and development for the Live Like John Foundation. From discovery to launch, we collaborated closely with the team to craft a custom website that honors John’s legacy while making it easier for people to donate, learn, and engage. The site is mobile-responsive, easy to navigate, and built to scale as the foundation grows.

Final Thoughts

‍Since launching the redesigned website, the Live Like John Foundation has experienced measurable growth in engagement and visibility. Online donations have increased, event participation is up, and the foundation now has a reliable digital home that aligns with its values. This project is a great example of how mission-driven Beaverton web design can help nonprofits elevate their story and strengthen community impact.
