Tyler Vanderheiden Memorial: A Website Built with Heart—By the People Who Care Most
Some websites are about selling products or driving leads. Others, like this one, are about preserving a legacy and building community. The Tyler Vanderheiden Memorial Run website is a beautiful example of what happens when people who care are given the right tools to bring a vision to life online.
Built Not by a Designer—But by the Organization Itself.
One of the most meaningful things about this site? It wasn’t built by Forge Graphic Design.
It was built by the people behind the cause.
Using the intuitive editor included with every Forge Graphic Design Minisite, the team was able to:
- Add their own photos and copy
- Update event details and race info
- Link directly to registration and donations
🏃♂️ Why this matters: The story is theirs. The mission is theirs. And now, the website is theirs too.
With Minisites, organizations can take ownership of their presence online—without needing to hire a developer every time something changes.
Clean, Focused, and Personal.
The Tyler Vanderheiden Memorial site communicates everything clearly:
- Who Tyler was
- What the race supports
- How people can get involved
There’s no confusion, clutter, or corporate tone. Just honest, human storytelling supported by clear calls to action.
🧡 It feels personal—because it is.
Empowering Everyday People to Take Control of Their Website.
A Forge Minisite isn’t just a done-for-you product—it’s a platform. We provide a simple, visual editor that gives small business owners, nonprofits, and memorial organizations the confidence to update their own site.
The team behind Tyler’s memorial didn’t wait on a designer. They logged in, made edits, and shared their message with the world.
📣 That’s the power of putting tools into the right hands.
The Site Will Grow With the Mission.
As this event grows year over year, the Minisite can grow too:
- Add photo galleries from past races
- Embed videos and testimonials
- Build out sponsor highlights or race results
- Add a blog for updates and training tips
Like the memorial run itself, the site has room to expand without losing its roots.
