The Challenge

Detroit Hacker House needed a clearer digital presence that matched the organization's momentum. The website and communications had to do more than look better — they needed to support programming visibility, partner credibility, and ongoing community engagement.

The core challenge was alignment: clarifying the story, simplifying the experience, and creating a system the team could actually maintain.

The Approach

TR3 Media led a strategy-first redesign. The team clarified audiences and priorities, then translated that into a cleaner site structure, stronger messaging, and an email approach designed to build consistency without overwhelming internal capacity.

The goal was straightforward: make it easier for people to understand what Detroit Hacker House is, why it matters, and how to engage.
