The Hoxie21 Legacy website, designed by Advantas Computer & Technology, educates and honors a critical yet under-told chapter of American history. It’s a powerful digital monument to the 25 African American students who integrated Hoxie schools in 1955 — years before Little Rock — and the community that supported them.
The homepage blends a mosaic of archival photographs rendered in warm sepia tones. This not only evokes a sense of history and reverence but also builds an emotional connection right from the start. The images — classrooms, students, newspaper clippings — invite viewers into the personal and collective memory of Hoxie, Arkansas.
The website uses a clean, top-level navigation menu that mirrors the nonprofit’s mission: Who We Are, What We Do, Make a Difference. Each section has a dedicated banner image reinforcing the section’s theme — like clasped hands for making a difference. Finally, the “Donate Now” CTA guides users directly toward supporting the organization’s work.
Content throughout the site emphasizes the voices and values of the Hoxie21 community. The “Goal” section clearly articulates a mission that blends historical education, civic memory, and cultural inclusion. Quotes and narratives are used sparingly but effectively, paired with relevant photography that humanizes the experience.
The Hoxie21 Legacy non-profit website successfully transforms a historical milestone into an engaging, emotionally resonant user experience. Through archival design elements, clear user pathways, and community-centered content, Advantas Computer & Technology has created a digital space that educates, inspires, and empowers.
