Website Design Tips for Nonprofits with David Pisarek

David lives to break things – it all started when David was about 2 years old and his parent’s poor judgment. They bought him a tool kit. Yes, real metal tools, some of which he still uses to this day. One day while at his grandparent’s house, David (2/3) was sitting in the hallway, playing with something on the wall. It turned out to be their phone jack. A week later, they had a working phone again – keep in mind that this was 1980/81, there was no other way to communicate without going and seeing people in person if you didn’t have a phone.

David was always curious, from learning command lines to run games on the family Apple II computer, to taking apart electronics and putting them back together – they always worked afterward.

This curious spark grew into a love of technology and gadgets. David started by learning how to work with graphics and build web pages in 1991. He worked in the dot-com era of 1999 as a senior developer – helping a startup e-commerce company raise $1M within 2-months before they went public on the TSX. He worked at a college and university for 11-years in their marketing and communications teams, then moved on to a hospital for nearly 5 years.

In 2017, David decided that there has to be a better way to help the organizations dedicated to society. His company, Wow Digital Inc., designs and creates brands, websites, intranets, interactive kiosks, and even games for non-profit, NGO, charitable, and community-based organizations in Canada.
