Organization Description

The Animal Cause, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Christian animal-welfare organization working to save shelter animals, support efforts to reduce shelter overpopulation, preserve life, and strengthen the systems that help vulnerable animals move from crisis toward safety, care, and responsible placement. We support and collaborate with shelters, rescues, fosters, volunteers, receiving organizations, veterinary providers, donors, businesses, churches, and communities through volunteer, transport, rescue-support, consulting, foster-partnership, visibility, and infrastructure-building efforts.

Through The Shepherd's Ark Program, we are developing mobile animal-care, transport, logistics, field-support, and visibility capacity. The organization is also building broader infrastructure intended to improve coordination, public engagement, resource access, and lifesaving pathways across Texas and beyond.

The Animal Cause is entirely volunteer-led and supported through donations, grants, fundraising, and in-kind support. No representative currently receives a salary.

Opportunity Summary

The Animal Cause is recruiting a multi-person website and landing-page support team to evaluate, improve, document, and expand its public digital infrastructure. The team will support the main website, program and campaign landing pages, forms, user journeys, accessibility, search readiness, analytics, and future technical planning.

This opportunity is being recruited as part of a team. No single volunteer is expected to own the entire function, carry every assignment, or determine organizational priorities alone. Work will be divided into defined projects based on skill, availability, current readiness, and approved organizational priorities.

Primary Responsibilities

• Audit existing pages, navigation, links, forms, redirects, confirmations, and notification workflows.
• Review website experiences from the perspective of donors, volunteers, foster applicants, shelter/rescue partners, adopters, sponsors, and the general public.
• Build or update approved landing pages for fundraising, volunteer recruitment, foster recruitment, partner outreach, animal visibility, and The Shepherd's Ark.
• Improve mobile responsiveness, page clarity, accessibility, image optimization, page speed, and basic SEO.
• Support analytics and conversion tracking through approved tools such as GA4, Search Console, and Tag Manager.
• Troubleshoot contained HTML, CSS, CMS, form, integration, and layout issues based on access level and assignment.
• Document page structure, integrations, credentials ownership, testing steps, completed changes, and maintenance procedures.
• Collaborate with marketing, graphic design, content, volunteer, and program teams under an approved project brief.

Possible Initial Assignments

• Complete a public-facing website and form audit with a prioritized issue log.
• Create a reusable landing-page structure for one approved campaign.
• Test donation, volunteer, foster, partner, and inquiry pathways on desktop and mobile.
• Prepare a website content inventory and identify outdated, missing, duplicated, or unclear information.
• Develop a staging-to-approval-to-publication checklist.
• Create documentation that allows another volunteer to maintain completed work.
• Help define requirements for future directories, portals, databases, applications, or software before any build decision is made.

Minimum Qualifications

• At least 21 years old and based in the United States.
• Demonstrated website, landing-page, web QA, HTML/CSS, CMS, UX, accessibility, analytics, or related technical capability.
• Ability to follow written scopes, test carefully, document work, and communicate limitations.
• Comfort working in a team with staged permissions and review requirements.
• Reliable internet access and ability to participate in remote meetings when scheduled.
• Respect for confidentiality, intellectual property, organizational ownership, and the Christian mission.

Preferred Experience

• WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or comparable CMS/page-builder experience.
• HTML, CSS, JavaScript, forms, integrations, domain/DNS, hosting, or basic security knowledge.
• Accessibility, responsive design, SEO, analytics, conversion tracking, or performance optimization.
• Nonprofit, animal-welfare, donor, volunteer, or public-service website experience.
• Experience documenting technical systems or training nontechnical users.

Operating Boundaries

• No live-site change, plugin installation, domain change, integration, purchase, or platform migration without written approval.
• Full administrator access will not be provided automatically; access will be limited to the assigned task.
• Work should be tested in staging, draft, duplicate, or controlled environments whenever feasible.
• Volunteers may identify and recommend solutions but may not independently select platforms, create obligations, or commit organizational funds.
• Website publication and external communication require the applicable approval and authorization.
