XcelerateNOW
Helping Newcomers With Their Business Journey
Introduction
XcelerateNOW is a program dedicated to connecting newcomers, refugees, immigrants, and international student entrepreneurs and startups to existing resources, events, activities, mentorship, networking and funding opportunities
Website
XcelerateNOW came to use in need a simple to use website that allows them to post their events, showcase local businesses, and to act as a hub for entrepreneurs.
We focused on creating a very easy to navigate website, with little to no clutter. It takes time to get these kind of results. See the below image for a behind the scenes look at our design process using Adobe XD.

We custom designed the site from the ground up. One benefit that the Hyden House has is a lifetime membership to Crocoblocks, a suite of plugins for Elementor/WordPress. This allows us to create a more scalable solution, without needing to code. All of our clients get access to our lifetime membership, XcelerateNOW being one of them.
XcelerateNOW utilizes EventBrite for their events, but they needed a solution that could populate their website with these events. Therefore, we utilized The Events Calendar and an Eventbrite integration to allow for seamless syncing between the two platforms, reducing the need to create the event individually on both platforms!
