The Lion House website was designed to embody the innovative spirit and essential mission of this pioneering LGBTQ-specific housing program. Working from a strong logo, the site’s design extends the brand by incorporating subtle yet impactful housing-themed elements throughout, emphasizing the organization’s unique community-centered approach to transitional and rapid re-housing. With an elevated aesthetic in mind, the design combines clean, modern layouts with warm, welcoming visuals, ensuring that every aspect of the site reflects Lion House’s commitment to supporting homeless LGBTQ youth in Kansas City.
One of the standout features of the design is a custom illustration of hands holding keys, adorned with a Lion House-branded keychain—symbolizing safety, welcome, and the keys to a new start. This visual complements Lion House’s community-first, housing-plus philosophy, which seeks to address the root causes of LGBTQ homelessness through supportive, inclusive housing solutions. By capturing both the organization’s heart and its groundbreaking model, the website establishes Lion House as not only a critical resource but also a national leader in LGBTQ housing advocacy and support.
