HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Firstly, thank you for being here! And thank you so much for supporting the Rescue Dogs On Doorsteps book. There are hundreds of beautiful dogs sitting in shelters around Australia and it takes a mammoth effort to help them.. and shelters are always in need.
Here's some ways you can help if you feel the pull. Thank you so much again xx
THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO GIVE BACK. AS THE BOOK GROWS, A PORTION OF PROCEEDS WILL GO TOWARDS SUPPORTING ANIMAL SHELTERS.
THE DOGS IN THIS BOOK WERE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE.
MANY ARE STILL WAITING.

Goal: Turn visitors into helpers (donate, adopt, share, support you)
1. HERO SECTION (first screen)
This is everything. Keep it simple and emotional.
Visual:
-
One strong, beautiful image from the book (not too busy, eye contact if possible)
Headline (clear + emotive):
These dogs were given a second chance. Many are still waiting.
Subheading:
A photo book capturing rescue stories — and how you can be part of them.
Buttons (keep to 2–3 max):
-
Buy the Book
-
Help a Dog
-
Donate
2. WHAT THIS IS ABOUT (quick context)
Short, human, no fluff.
This book shares the stories of rescued dogs and the people who changed their lives.
It’s also a way to support the organisations still doing this work every day.
3. THE IMPACT (make it real)
People help when they understand what difference it makes.
Use simple, visual blocks:
-
“$X feeds a rescue dog for a week”
-
“$X helps cover vet care”
-
“Every book sold contributes to…”
Optional: include a short stat or two (not overwhelming)
4. HOW YOU CAN HELP (core section)
This is the conversion engine. Keep it super clear.

This section is where people slow down and feel something.

Keep it subtle but present.

-
“X dogs photographed”
-
“X copies sold” (if strong number)
-
Testimonials (even short ones)
7. WHERE THE MONEY GOES (important)
Transparency builds trust quickly.
Simple breakdown:
-
% to rescue organisations
-
% production costs
-
% future projects
Keep it honest and easy to read.
8. FINAL CTA (end strong)

Buttons again:

✨ DESIGN DIRECTION (this matters more than people think)
Look & feel:
-
Soft, warm, natural tones
-
Nothing too glossy or corporate
-
Let the photography carry the page
Typography:
-
Clean + slightly editorial (think “coffee table book”)
Spacing:
-
Lots of white space → makes it feel calm, not overwhelming
⚡ SMALL BUT IMPORTANT DETAILS
-
Keep it scrollable, not cluttered
-
Avoid too many choices → decision fatigue kills action
-
Use real language, not charity jargon
-
Make buttons obvious (no hunting required)
🧠 Strategy behind this
-
Emotion first (hero + stories)
-
Clarity second (how to help)
-
Trust third (impact + transparency)
-
Action repeated (buttons throughout)
If you want, I can:
-
Write the actual copy in your tone
-
Suggest exact images from your book to use where
-
Or design a layout specifically for Wix (since you’re using it)
This has the bones of something that can genuinely convert—not just look nice.
