FordWoods Web Development exists so that no one is left behind simply because something felt too complicated to finish.
FordWoods Web Development grew out of a lifelong desire to give back to foster care. For more than 30 years, that mission stayed present—even when the right form for it did not yet exist. Over time, it became clear that the greatest barrier was not willingness or care, but access: access to learning, clarity, and tools that people could understand and keep.
FordWoods was created to meet that need. By building websites in real time and openly sharing what is learned along the way, this nonprofit supports stability, ownership, and continuity—values shaped by lived experience.
