Tyler County Family Resource Network | Big Heart, Stronger Digital Reach
Rural Community. Real Impact. A Website That Finally Shows It.

Tyler County, West Virginia is small. Middlebourne, the county seat, is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone — which is exactly the kind of place where organizations like the Tyler County Family Resource Network do their most important work.

The FRN connects families to programs, advocates for community resources, and runs initiatives that range from food assistance to family wellness — all in a county that can’t always count on the kind of funding larger communities take for granted.

They were doing great work. They just needed a website that showed it.

The Challenge

For a small nonprofit in rural West Virginia, a professional digital presence is more than a nice-to-have. It’s how funders evaluate credibility. It’s how families find resources. It’s how the organization demonstrates impact to the state agencies and grant programs that keep it running.

The Tyler County FRN had the work. They had the community trust. What they didn’t have was a website that communicated either of those things to anyone who wasn’t already part of the Tyler County network.

Key areas of focus:
- Creating a professional web presence that reflects the real impact and credibility of the organization
- Making community programs and resources easy to find for Tyler County families
- Building in accessibility features to ensure the site serves every member of the community
The Solution

FDM built a clean, mission-forward website for the Tyler County FRN — one that gives the organization the professional digital presence it needs to grow, while keeping it grounded in the community work that defines them.
- A clear organizational structure that tells the FRN story immediately. Programs, projects, and community initiatives are organized so first-time visitors — whether they’re local families or state agency staff — understand exactly what the FRN does and why it matters.
- Online donation integration that makes it easy to support the mission. Community members and outside supporters can give directly through the website, reducing the friction between intent and action.
- Accessibility-first design that serves the whole community. Screen reader compatibility, contrast options, keyboard navigation — because every Tyler County resident should be able to access the resources this organization provides.
- Professional branding aligned with their state partnership. The FRN’s relationship with the West Virginia Department of Human Services is reflected in the site’s credibility and presentation — important for grant applications and funder relationships.
Serving Tyler County from the Ground Up

The Tyler County Family Resource Network is funded in part by the West Virginia Department of Human Services and built entirely on community leadership. Their programs — food assistance, family wellness initiatives, community garden projects — grow out of a direct understanding of what Tyler County families actually need.

FDM built a website that honors that grassroots mission while giving the organization the professional digital footprint it needs to sustain and grow. Because the best community work deserves to be seen.
The Results

Tyler County FRN now has a website that matches the heart of their work — welcoming, accessible, and clear about who they serve and why it matters.

Small county. Big work. And now a digital presence that finally says so.

Key outcomes include:
- Professional website elevating the organization’s credibility with funders and community partners
- Clear program and project pages helping Tyler County families find and access support
- Online donation integration supporting the nonprofit’s long-term sustainability
- Accessible, mobile-friendly design reaching more community members across Tyler County, WV

Wayne County Recovery Coalition | Changing the Story Around Recovery One Post at a Time
Prevention Isn’t a Campaign. It’s a Commitment, And This Website Reflects That.

The Wayne County Recovery Coalition doesn’t show up for a month and disappear. They show up every month — for National Recovery Month, for Mental Health Awareness Month, for every health observance on the calendar — with content, resources, and community engagement that keeps prevention top of mind across Wayne County all year long.

That kind of consistency takes infrastructure. It takes a platform built for ongoing content, not just a static page.

FDM built them exactly that.

Industry: Community Health / Nonprofit
Services: Website Design, Content Strategy, Blog Development, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 5 Years
The Challenge

Substance misuse prevention is a long game. You don’t change community behavior with a single event or a single message. You change it through consistent presence — educational content, community connections, and a platform that keeps the conversation alive even when no one is in crisis.

The Wayne County Recovery Coalition needed a website that could sustain that kind of presence. Not a digital brochure, but a living content platform — one that could hold blog posts, resources, event announcements, webinar promotions, and partner highlights without becoming cluttered or hard to navigate.

Founded in 2019 and supported by the Drug Free Communities Support Program, the WCRC had the mission and the drive. They needed the digital infrastructure to match.

Key areas of focus:
- Building a content platform that could sustain ongoing prevention education and monthly awareness campaigns
- Making recovery resources easy to find for community members who need them
- Creating a credible, welcoming presence that reduced stigma around recovery and mental health
The Solution

FDM built a resource-rich website with a content strategy at its core. The blog system, resource library, events calendar, and webinar tools give the WCRC everything they need to keep showing up — month after month, awareness campaign after awareness campaign.
- A full blog platform with organized content categories. Early Recovery, Long Term Recovery, Prevention, Let’s Talk — each category supports a different audience and a different kind of conversation, making it easy for visitors to find what resonates with them.
- A resource library built for community education. Downloadable infographics, stigma-reduction materials, and educational resources give community members and coalition partners tools they can actually use in the real world.
- Events calendar and webinar promotion tools. Monthly coalition meetings, upcoming webinars, and community events are organized and promoted in one place — making it easy for residents and partners to stay engaged.
- Partner highlights that celebrate the coalition. Sector representatives, community partners, and member organizations each have a presence on the site — because this work only happens because of the people doing it.
More Than a Website — A Platform for Change

The Wayne County Recovery Coalition was founded in 2019 with a clear mission: change the story around substance misuse in Wayne County. Through the Drug Free Communities Support Program, they’ve built a coalition of community partners, sector representatives, and dedicated coordinators who show up every month — in meetings, in community events, and online.

FDM built a website that shows up the same way. The content strategy is designed around national health observances so the WCRC always has a relevant message to share. The resource library grows over time. The blog builds a searchable archive of prevention education. It’s not just a website — it’s a tool for sustained community change.
The Results

The WCRC now has a digital presence that works as hard as they do. It educates, connects, and mobilizes the Wayne County community around recovery and prevention — month after month, whether anyone is looking at it or not.

That consistency is the whole strategy. And the website makes it possible.

Key outcomes include:
- Content platform enabling monthly awareness campaigns aligned with national health observances
- Resource library giving community members and partners instant access to prevention and recovery materials
- Events and webinar tools driving active participation in coalition activities and meetings
- Professional digital presence supporting the WCRC’s credibility as Wayne County’s go-to recovery resource

Wayne County Family Connection | Resources for Our Residents in Need
The Community Hub Wayne County Needed — Now Fully Digital.

Wayne County Family Connection already knew how to bring people together. They’d been doing it for years — connecting residents to resources, coordinating with local nonprofits and government agencies, and making sure that when someone needed help, there was somewhere to point them.

What they needed was a website that could do the same thing.

Not a brochure. Not a static page with a phone number. A real digital hub — dynamic, accessible, and built to reflect the living, breathing work they do every day in Wayne County.

Industry: Nonprofit / Community Resource Organization
Services: Website Design, Online Donations, Accessibility, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 15 Years
The Challenge

Community resource organizations face a unique digital problem: their work changes constantly. Programs come and go. Events get added. New resources become available. An organization like Wayne County Family Connection can’t afford a website that goes stale.

At the same time, the people they serve aren’t always comfortable navigating complex websites. They need information fast — emergency resources, community programs, ways to get involved — and they need it to work on whatever device they’re holding.

The website had to be easy for staff to update and easy for residents to use. Those two things don’t always go together. FDM made them go together.

Key areas of focus:
- Creating an easy-to-navigate resource directory that residents can turn to in times of need
- Integrating a community calendar to keep Wayne County connected and informed
- Building in accessibility features so the site could serve every member of the community
The Solution

FDM built a community hub — not just a website. Every element of the design was built around one question: what does a Wayne County resident need, and how fast can they find it?
- A complete resource directory with emergency resources front and center. When someone is in crisis, they can’t afford to search. FDM organized the directory so the most critical resources are always within reach.
- An integrated community calendar. Events, programs, meetings — everything happening in and around Wayne County lives in one place, updated in real time.
- A live Facebook feed embedded on the homepage. The most current information shouldn’t live only on social media. FDM pulled it directly into the site, keeping content fresh without adding work for staff.
- Accessibility tools built in. Screen reader support, contrast options, keyboard navigation — because a community resource organization should be accessible to the entire community it serves.
The Community Hub

Wayne County Family Connection is the connective tissue of an entire county. They partner with nonprofits, local government, schools, and faith organizations to make sure no family falls through the cracks. Their executive director, Kristina DeLeGal, and her team are in the community every day — which means their website needs to keep up.

FDM’s website works the same way the organization does: as a digital center of gravity that pulls information together and makes it available to anyone who needs it, any time they need it. Whether a resident is looking for emergency resources at midnight or a community partner is planning an event, the site meets them where they are.
The Results

Wayne County Family Connection now has a digital presence as welcoming and resourceful as the work they do in person. Residents can find emergency help. They can donate. They can stay connected to what’s happening in their community. And they can do all of it from the same place, on any device.

That matters. Especially when it matters most.

Key outcomes include:
- Centralized resource hub making it easier for Wayne County residents to find help fast
- Accessible design ensuring the site serves every community member regardless of ability
- Active social media integration keeping content fresh without extra effort from staff
- Online donation functionality supporting the organization’s mission directly through the web
