Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley
Hispanic Foundation Silicon Valley cultivates philanthropy. They invest in Hispanic children and families, helping the community thrive. We redesigned their site to highlight the various educational, leadership and health programs they offer. The website encourages users to become involved and make secure online donations. It’s now easier to connect thanks to a new photo gallery, showcased videos and an updated media room.
The Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley has chosen Next Step for all our website and email hosting needs. Our Foundation is proud of our new website designed by the artful hands of the Next Step Team. Recently launched, our new website has received high praise for its look and content.

Volunteers in Motion
Volunteers in Motion matches volunteers with philanthropic organizations. As a new start up with a big vision, they needed us to jump start their outreach program. The Next Step touch included programming their database, developing a social media plan, and making a complex site fun and easy to use.
Shirin treated our project as if it was her own, spending time well outside the scope of the project to get our startup off the ground. Her team is extremely creative and responsive. There are a lot of volunteer organizations out there. The Next Step team helped set us apart with our intuitive and user-friendly design. They also helped develop our marketing strategy, from naming the company, to developing our collateral, to providing us with general advice/best practices. Shirin & her team have been such a valuable ally- you can tell they want us to thrive.

Alearn
ALearn is a non-profit organization committed to helping under-represented students get to and succeed in college. We re-designed their site to highlight their different programs and encourage users to get involved. Users are encouraged to become involved. It's now easier to connect- and be moved to make secure online donations- thanks to a new photo gallery, showcased videos and links to their social media outlets.
After an initial conversation with Shirin, we were convinced to hire their services in large part due to their professionalism, impressive portfolio, and their willingness to work with our limited budget as a non-profit. Throughout the whole process, Shirin, Stacey, and Steve's performance has exceeded our expectations. We now have a website that were are proud to show to the outside world. So far we have received nothing but praise for it.

Open Networking Summit
Stanford came to us because they needed a website for their OpenFlow Networking Summit. OpenFlow is emerging as one of the most promising networking technologies of recent years. Their attendees and speakers included top executives from Google, Facebook, UC Berkeley and the like. We created a complete conference website including links to online registration, program schedules, visitor info and more.
We worked with Shirin and her team to create a website for Open Networking Summit -- a brand new event. Shirin and her team did a wonderful job on a short notice -- from conception to design to programming to going on line to tracking the use to regular upgrade. We are very pleased with their creativity, quality of work, and professionalism in all phases of creating and maintaining the website. We are planning to do a couple of more websites with them.

Elements Fashion
Elements Fashion Show is an Annual fundraising event that supports community organizations such as the salvation army, freedom & next door solutions. We helped update the site for their Annual fundraising event, integrated a music track on their site & added PayPal so visitors could purchase tickets directly online.
