How Media Blanket Built Phoenix Generation’s Website

When Phoenix Generation approached us at Media Blanket, they had a clear vision: a dynamic, user-friendly website that would convey their purpose of nurturing the next generation of visionary leaders. They needed something more than just an online presence—they wanted a platform that reflects their forward-thinking mission while being easy to manage without needing outside help. With that in mind, we rolled up our sleeves and crafted a fully customized website using Squarespace that delivers on aesthetics, functionality, and ease of use.

A Vision Brought to Life with Strategic Design

At Media Blanket, we believe great design is about more than just looking good—it’s about creating an experience. For Phoenix Generation, our team focused on building a visually striking site with clean, modern lines and intuitive navigation that guides users seamlessly through their content. The design embraces a balance of whitespace, bold headings, and vivid imagery, creating an inspiring digital space that echoes the organization’s mission of innovation and transformation.

We didn’t stop at aesthetics. The site’s design is fully responsive, ensuring a polished experience whether you’re visiting from a desktop, tablet, or mobile device. After all, we know that a site’s first impression often happens on a mobile screen.

Content Strategy and Taxonomy: Clarity Above All

A significant part of the project involved establishing a clear content taxonomy. Why is that important? Because when users can find what they’re looking for quickly, they’re more likely to stay engaged. We carefully structured the site’s content into well-defined categories and sections, making it easy for users to navigate and absorb the information they need.

Phoenix Generation’s primary audience includes educators, thought leaders, and young visionaries. With this in mind, we developed a content layout that emphasizes key sections such as upcoming events, resource libraries, and program overviews. Each section was designed to stand on its own while maintaining a cohesive flow throughout the site.

We also ensured that the call-to-action elements—from newsletter signups to event registration—are strategically placed for maximum engagement without being intrusive.

Empowerment through Self-Management

Here’s something that sets us apart at Media Blanket: we don’t believe in locking clients into long-term maintenance contracts. Instead, we empower our clients to take control of their websites by designing them on platforms like Squarespace, which is known for its user-friendly interface and robust capabilities.

Once the Phoenix Generation website was live, we provided training and documentation to their team, ensuring they could easily manage and update the site themselves. Want to add a new event? No problem. Need to upload fresh resources? Done in a few clicks. This self-sufficiency is a core value of our approach because we believe that a great website should work for you, not the other way around.

No Long-Term Contracts, No Hostage Situations

Let’s be honest—no one likes feeling trapped. Many agencies lock clients into ongoing contracts for simple updates, leaving them dependent on someone else for every minor tweak. That’s not how we roll at Media Blanket.

We aim to build long-term relationships based on trust and value, not obligation. When you partner with us, you’re free to manage your site as you see fit. Need a quick refresher down the road? We’re here to help, but only when you need us.

This approach is why clients like Phoenix Generation trust us: they know we’re invested in their success, not just in maintaining an indefinite contract.

SEO and Performance Optimization

A beautiful site is great, but if it’s not optimized for search engines, it’s like putting a billboard in the middle of nowhere. For Phoenix Generation, we incorporated best practices in on-page SEO and performance optimization to ensure their site ranks well and loads quickly across all devices.

From image compression to clean URLs and metadata, we handled the behind-the-scenes details that can make or break a site’s performance. As a result, Phoenix Generation now has a website that doesn’t just look amazing—it’s also discoverable by the right audience.
