The Challenge
The Grant Access, a certified MBE planning major events for Goldman Sachs, the USTA, and other prominent clients, had a website that didn’t reflect the caliber of work. The site was slow and outdated, creating friction for business development. The organization needed a modern portfolio site on a timeline that supported active sales cycles.
The Solution
Black Digital built a new site from a starter framework with design and development happening simultaneously so design revisions didn’t require recoding. The site focused on what matters for an event planning portfolio: showcasing past work and making it easy for prospects to request consultation.
The platform was built so The Grant Access’s team could update their portfolio directly—adding events, refreshing case work, uploading photos—without developer involvement after handoff.
The Results
The Grant Access launched a modern site reflecting its actual capability. The organization has remained a long-term partner, adding and updating work directly through the CMS as new events complete.
