Nonprofit Consultant Needed to Review Resource Platform Landing Page

Project Overview I'm building a resource platform designed to help first-time nonprofit founders navigate the process of starting a 501(c)(3) from scratch. The platform's "Start Here" page is a guided, step-by-step pathway that walks someone from "I have a mission" through formation, compliance, and launch. The page is complete and live. I am looking for someone with nonprofit consulting or nonprofit startup experience to review it in detail and provide honest, specific feedback. This is not a UX or design review. I'm looking for a subject-matter expert who can evaluate whether the content is accurate, clear, and genuinely useful to someone with no prior nonprofit experience. What You'll Be Reviewing The Start Here page is a single page that presents the nonprofit formation journey as a step-by-step pathway. You'll receive a direct link to review in your browser. The review should focus on this page only (not the full site). Specific Review Criteria Please evaluate the page against each of the following and provide written notes on every point 1. Accuracy Is anything on this page incorrect, outdated, or misleading? If so, what specifically, and what would be more accurate? 2. Clarity of the pathway Is the step-by-step progression clear and logical? Would a first-time founder with zero nonprofit experience understand what to do and in what order? 3. Accessibility of language Does the content feel approachable, or does it use jargon, assume prior knowledge, or feel intimidating at any point? 4. Completeness Is anything critical missing from the formation journey as presented? Are there steps or considerations a new founder would need that aren't addressed? 5. Next steps At each stage of the pathway, would a founder know exactly what their next action is? Are there any dead ends or moments of confusion? 6. Trust and credibility Does the page build enough confidence that a founder would stay on the site and follow the guidance? Does anything undermine trust? 7. Professional credibility From your perspective as a consultant, does this page reflect a credible, knowledgeable platform? Would you feel comfortable referring a client to it? 8. Tone and voice Does the page feel knowledgeable but approachable? Flag anything that reads as too academic, too salesy, or too vague. Deliverable A written document (Google Doc, PDF, or Loom video with notes) addressing each of the 8 criteria above. For each point, I want specifics, not general impressions. "Step 4 is confusing because it assumes the reader already knows what articles of incorporation are" is helpful. "Looks good overall" is not. Expected time commitment 60-75 minutes. Timeline Please deliver feedback within 5 business days of receiving the link. Who You Are - You have hands-on experience consulting with nonprofits, helping people start nonprofits, or working in nonprofit operations/compliance - You understand the actual pain points of early-stage nonprofit formation (articles of incorporation, EIN applications, board recruitment, 1023/1023-EZ, state registration, bylaws, etc.) - You can evaluate content for accuracy, not just readability - You're comfortable being direct and specific in your feedback To Apply Please include in your proposal - A brief summary of your nonprofit experience (consulting, founding, or operational) - Which of the 8 review criteria you'd expect to have the strongest perspective on, and why - Any relevant credentials (CNP, CPA with nonprofit focus, JD with nonprofit law experience, etc.) if applicable, though not required
