Non-profit website & volunteer platform
Community Pulse Foundation
A public website that also helps the team run the work.
The Foundation needed a welcoming place to explain its work in English and French, plus a straightforward way for its team to manage the people and messages coming in through the site.

The Community Pulse Foundation is a non-profit based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Its work centres on connection, inclusion and belonging among newcomers, families, youth and long-term residents.
WianTribe designed and built the public website and the tools behind it: content management for the team, a guided Get Involved flow and a private dashboard for volunteer applications and enquiries.
The problem
One small team, a lot of different people to serve.
A new non-profit needs to explain why it exists, show what it is doing and make it easy for people to volunteer, support the work or simply ask a question. It also needs to do that in both English and French.
The website could not become another thing the team needed a developer to maintain. They also needed a way to keep track of volunteers and enquiries without relying on an inbox as the only record.
How we handled it
Keep the public side welcoming and the admin side practical.
The public site leads with the Foundation's purpose, its own outreach photography and clear ways to take part. Behind the scenes, submissions are saved before email is attempted, so a temporary mail problem does not erase a volunteer application.
English and French are part of the content model
Pages, programs and events support both languages, with English used as the fallback when a translation is not ready yet.
The team can change the site themselves
Programs, events, team members, pages and important site text are managed through a private site manager without editing code or redeploying the site.
Do not thank someone for money that has not arrived
The donation flow records a supporter's intent first and confirms funds after they arrive, instead of treating interest as a completed donation.

Key capabilities
What the site does for visitors and the team.
- 01
English and French
Visitors can switch languages across the site, while managed content has fields for both English and French.
- 02
Programs, events and people
The team can publish community programs, past outreach, upcoming events and team profiles without changing the codebase.
- 03
One place to get involved
A guided form covers volunteering, item donations, financial support and general questions, with consent captured as part of the flow.
- 04
A private place to follow up
The dashboard keeps volunteers, enquiries and events together, with notes, assignments, attendance and CSV export.
- 05
Email failures are visible
Acknowledgement and notification emails are logged, so a failed message can be seen and retried instead of disappearing quietly.
- 06
The basics for search and sharing
Structured organization data, social previews, a sitemap and a canonical domain give search engines and social platforms the information they need.
Engineering
A small back office without a traditional server stack.
The public pages stay lightweight while Cloudflare handles the forms, records and admin workflows behind them.
- 01
Functions and D1 at the edge
Cloudflare Pages Functions handle submissions and the CRM, backed by Cloudflare D1. Preview deployments use a separate database so testing does not touch real volunteer records.
- 02
Public forms have layers of protection
Cloudflare Turnstile helps filter automated spam, and per-address rate limiting limits repeated submissions to the public endpoints.
- 03
Save the record before sending the email
The application writes the record first and then attempts email delivery, so an email outage cannot make a valid application disappear.
- 04
Keep the public pages light
The site is built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with semantic structure, a skip link and layouts that work from phone to desktop.
