PFLAG Broward approached Proud Empowerment during a pivotal moment of organizational transition. As leadership changed hands, the need for a clear, engaging, and functional digital presence became more urgent. The existing website no longer reflected the chapter’s evolving mission, and its usability challenges hindered both outreach and community engagement. What began as a website revamp evolved into a multi-year collaboration focused on digital empowerment, content strategy, and sustainable self-management.
PFLAG Broward is the Broward County chapter of the national nonprofit PFLAG, which provides support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and allies. The chapter plays a vital role in local advocacy efforts and community connection throughout South Florida.
Leadership transition came with both opportunity and urgency. The outdated website needed a complete redesign, and new leadership needed support to confidently step into their roles—especially in managing the chapter’s digital presence. Challenges included:
An outdated, stagnant website that no longer reflected the chapter’s voice or vitality
Limited internal knowledge on maintaining and updating web content
Lack of fresh, relevant content to engage users and support SEO
Need for ongoing digital readiness in a fast-changing nonprofit environment
Proud Empowerment stepped in as both creative partner and technical guide, working closely with PFLAG’s new leadership team and their daughter to modernize the chapter’s digital presence and build long-term digital self-sufficiency.
Website Redesign and Refresh
Fully redesigned and modernized the PFLAG Broward website
Updated visual layout, navigation, and accessibility for a more intuitive experience
Realigned site structure and messaging with the organization’s mission and evolving leadership voice
Content Strategy and SEO Support

Hands-On Training for Leadership

The work led to tangible improvements in both the platform and the people managing it:
A Fresh, Mission-Aligned Website
The redesigned site reflects the warmth, purpose, and accessibility that PFLAG Broward stands for—providing an inviting space for new and existing community members.
Empowered Leaders
Leadership now has the tools and confidence to update the site, add events, post news, and guide their online strategy without relying on external help for every update.
More Engaged Community
New content and an improved user experience encouraged greater interaction from site visitors, keeping PFLAG Broward connected to its base.
Sustainable, Long-Term Partnership
What began as a project turned into a trusted, long-standing relationship—supporting PFLAG through additional phases of growth and visibility.
“The PFLAG Broward website owes it ALL to Mandi Hawke and Proud Empowerment Business Solutions! She has demonstrated over the years that she has the skills, creativity, and mad talent to bring our website up to speed and make us look good! She is always a joy to work with—friendly, timely, and efficient in every way. We love her work and are so grateful for her!”
— Lisa McCourt, PFLAG Broward
