Website Design & Hosting Services
Built for everyday union work—not tech headaches
Your union’s website should help members, not slow staff down. We build and host WordPress websites that make it easy to publish news, events, agreements, and alerts in minutes. Clear menus, readable pages, and fast load times mean members find what they need in a couple of clicks instead of calling the office.
With Union Impact, your public site and member portal become part of one system, not another standalone project. Your website connects to your data, messaging tools, and portals so updates go further with less work.
Structure first, then design
Most union sites look like they grew one meeting at a time. Pages get added, menus get crowded, and no one is sure what can safely be deleted. We take the opposite approach.
We start by mapping the core jobs your website needs to do, then build structure around those jobs before we talk about colors and images.
Common content types include:
- News and alerts
- Events and trainings
- Agreements, forms, and policies
- Leadership and staff pages
- Locals, units, or districts
- Apprenticeships, jobs, and endorsements
Each type is defined once and reused everywhere. Editors fill out fields like date, location, file, and unit, and the website handles layout automatically. That means fewer broken pages, fewer layout mistakes, and less training for new staff.
A Website That Just Works
The Right Tools Already in Place
We set up the content types you need:
- News & Alerts
- Events & Training
- Leadership & Staff Pages
- Agreements & Forms
- Apprenticeships & Jobs
- Endorsements & FAQs
Each type is built once and re-used everywhere. Post an event and it appears on the calendar, the homepage, and in member updates automatically. Upload a form and it’s searchable by unit or employer. Everything stays organized.
Members Find It Fast
Top-task menus keep the most common needs front and center: “Pay Dues,” “Find a Form,” “Contact a Rep,” “Hiring Hall,” “Join.” Search understands union terms like dispatch or out-of-work list. Members get answers online instead of flooding your phones with the same questions.
Communicate with Members in Seconds
Text and Email Alerts
- Send targeted texts or emails by craft, employer, unit, or region.
- Promote events with one created record instead of separate posts in multiple tools.
- Highlight urgent information with an alert bar at the top of the homepage.
Members can update their own contact information through secure portals, keeping your lists accurate. Everything ties back to one system instead of scattered spreadsheets.
One Post, Everywhere
You don’t need to copy and paste into multiple systems. Add news or events on the site, and push it to text, email, and even an alert bar at the top of the homepage. You’ll see who opened, who clicked, and who RSVP’d. That means less guessing, more results.

Launch, Training, and Long-Term Support
What You Get on Day One
We move your existing pages, files, and news without the chaos. Old links keep working, so members don’t hit dead ends. We launch from a staging site after a simple checklist: pages proofed, forms tested, search working, and top tasks (“Find a Form,” “Contact a Rep,” “Hiring Hall,” “Join”) verified on phone and desktop. No surprises, no downtime drama.
Your Team, Fully Equipped
We train your staff in one short session (recorded for new hires). Editors use plain fields—not free-form pages—so updates stay consistent. We set clear roles and approvals, provide a quick style guide (headings, links, images), and a simple content calendar for news and events. After launch, we handle routine tune-ups, performance checks, backups, and security—while you focus on union work. If something urgent comes up, you get a person who can fix it, not a ticket that disappears.
What Success Looks Like
Technical SEO that protects current traffic
Unions using our sites see real numbers:
More members finding forms online
Faster updates with fewer staff headaches
Alerts reaching the right crews in minutes
Less time spent on the phone answering the same questions
Last year, unions on our platform sent over 5 million texts, 2 million emails, and placed nearly a million calls—all tracked and reported. Those are actions that matter, not just page views.
Get Started Risk-Free
We start with a short call to map your top five needs. Then we migrate your content, train your staff, and launch the site. Training takes less than an hour, and we record it for new staff. You get the first month risk-free—if you’re not happy, you can walk away with no hassle.
