With public-facing features like a seamless application process, accessible resources, and open job postings, plus an internal venture employee portal with intuitive, visual dashboards, this site is unique to GCU Canyon Ventures.

Basic overview

Canyon Ventures at GCU is an innovative networking venue and workspace for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses based in the Opportunity Zone of West Phoenix, AZ. They provide an accelerator for startup businesses, coupled with job and growth opportunities for students from Grand Canyon University.

We got it done:

  • Information architecture
  • Brand identity
  • Website design & development
  • User portal design & development

Opportunity

Since they serve so many different audiences — entrepreneurs, students, the public, and their own internal ventures and workers — Canyon Ventures needed a multifaceted site. We were tasked with building the digital space to support and complement Canyon Ventures’ physical space.

Solution

We recognized that Canyon Ventures needed a sleek, functional website that looked and sounded like them — helpful, friendly, information-driven, professional. We worked with them to identify needed functionalities and build out their brand identity. In the end, we designed and built them a robust portal for their ventures and a homepage that could accommodate a wide range of traffic and use cases.

The start of many great adventures

With public-facing features like a seamless application process, accessible resources, and open job postings, plus an internal venture employee portal with intuitive, visual dashboards, the Canyon Ventures site is uniquely theirs.

As an agency founded and staffed by several GCU students, alumni, and professors, it was a delight to work with an organization doing good for the community so close to home.
