ArcStone

Based in Minneapolis, this agency works exclusively with nonprofit organizations and mission-driven brands, building on experience dating back to 1997. Its client roster spans advocacy movements, health and cancer-support organizations, faith-based and inclusive spiritual communities, park and recreation boards, online schools, hunger-relief programs, and grassroots agricultural associations, reflecting a focus on organizations with public-service or membership-based missions rather than commercial enterprises. Services center on web design and development built on WordPress, with attention to accessibility and inclusive design for site users. The agency also offers digital marketing and strategy, including work aimed at driving awareness to specific programs and services, as demonstrated through campaigns supporting food-resource access. Additional offerings include fractional marketing support, virtual events and experiences, membership management systems, and web hosting paired with email services. ArcStone reports hosting the majority of the sites it builds, a practice it presents as giving it insight into both the design and technical performance sides of a website. Its rationale for standardizing on WordPress includes the platform's broad global adoption, its plugin ecosystem, and the use of advanced custom fields to balance functionality with ease of use for client teams. Work for clients has included rebranding, video production, registration-system integration, and content-management-system migrations tied to organizational advocacy and outreach goals.
