Ongoing Support:

In a lot of ways, NDSS is our ideal client. Their many internal teams are bold—always looking to expand their impact and make the most of every move. That means a steady stream of interesting and challenging problems to tackle around:

  • Educational content
  • Promotions and fundraising
  • Community organizing
  • Policy and issue advocacy

NDSS keeps a packed calendar—conferences, education and advocacy events, plus nationwide efforts like the annual Buddy Walk.

Our ongoing support has helped their web presence grow and adapt to changing needs and new initiatives over the last several years. That’s included everything from expanding existing sections to launching seasonal campaigns and building dedicated sections or microsites.

Mattel's Barbie with Down syndrome
We don’t chase just any project—we like clients we can be proud to work with. Like NDSS advising Mattel on the Barbie with Down syndrome—a milestone for kids who rarely see themselves reflected in the world around them.

Resource Management:

We redesigned and reconceived their resource sections into a single pool that can be engaged with as a unit or in several user  intent-specific modes.  This has been an ongoing process as NDSS continually expands both the resources offered and audiences they serve. 

Results

Working with NDSS means staying sharp—there’s always something new to build, update, or rethink. Over the years, we’ve adapted alongside them, tackling everything from fast-turnaround campaigns to long-term initiatives. Through it all, the goal stays the same: real impact for people with Down syndrome and their families.

Steve and Ron have been crucial in our organization's success, helping us rebuild our website and supporting us as we update and maintain it. They constantly deliver within budget and they've responded quickly and effectively whenever we’ve needed updates or run into issues. Finding a vendor who combines technical expertise with such a high level of care is rare to find.I highly recommend Liberal Art to anyone looking for reliable and professional website design, development and maintenance services!
