Education equity, at home in both languages.
LatinxEd builds pathways for Latino students and education leaders across North Carolina. We’ve been their design and web partner for more than four years.

LatinxEd works on a big gap. While 21% of North Carolina public school students are Latino, only 4% of teachers and fewer than 1% of school board members are. Their website has to make that case to a legislator. It also has to help a parent at the kitchen table who just wants to know whether her kid can get support this year. A policy brief is a lot of things, but it isn’t much help at the kitchen table.
A program officer is looking for evidence. A teacher is looking for the Fellowship. A family is often looking in Spanish. And the team running all of it is small, so anything that needed a developer to change would quietly stop being changed.
Built around the programs
We organized the site around what people come for instead of the org chart. The Fellowship, the Latine Education Summit, community impact and policy each have their own front door, so a visitor lands on the thing they came for, not on a tour of the organization.
Spanish, written for Spanish readers
Spanish was never going to be a translate button. Every page exists in both languages and is written to read naturally in each, with a simple EN | ES switch at the top. For an organization whose whole argument is that Latino families get overlooked, a Spanish site that lagged behind the English one would have made the opposite case.
A newsroom they run themselves
LatinxEd needed one place for press releases, community stories and policy responses, and they needed to publish the same day the news broke. Waiting on a web developer is a great way to comment on last week’s news.
We built a newsroom with filters by type and year, a search, and an article template that keeps every story consistent. Every article ends with a newsletter signup that feeds straight into their email list, and the whole thing runs in Spanish too. Since launch it has carried everything from a new executive director announcement to responses to the General Assembly.
The Fellowship
For the 2026 Fellowship, LatinxEd needed one page that could explain two different pathways and take applications for both. Behind it sits a form with more branches than a family group chat: the questions change with the pathway, it works in either language, and every application lands in Airtable, where the team reviews it.
In its first days live, the Fellowship drew the highest number of applicants in the program’s history.
Being the answer when someone asks
Websites aren’t only read by people anymore. In October we asked ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini the same question: which organizations in North Carolina provide education resources for Latinos? All three named LatinxEd first.
That isn’t luck. The site says plainly who LatinxEd serves and where. Every program has its own page in English and Spanish, and partner organizations describe LatinxEd’s work the same way. Everything an AI bot finds points to the same answer.
The website is one part of a longer partnership. We also design what surrounds it, from policy one-pagers for legislators to fellowship graphics and Legado, LatinxEd’s annual heritage month campaign. Because it all comes from the same place, the site never drifts away from everything else the organization puts out.
