Secure Non-Profit Donation Portal with AI-Accelerated Integration
Ancient Earth and Light
Design Concept: Resilience & Tradition
Service Design for Social Impact
The Maccabee Project required a high-converting, secure donation portal to support their fight against antisemitism. The strategic challenge was delivering a dynamic, enterprise-grade payment experience within a lightweight, static Bootstrap 5 prototype.
By architecting a serverless "Mapped Link" Strategy, I integrated custom frontend UX with HubSpot’s Commerce Hub, enabling recurring billing (One-Time vs. Monthly) without the cost of expensive enterprise middleware.
AI-Accelerated Problem Solving
Leveraging Google Gemini, I reduced development time for complex JS routing logic and data mapping by 60%. AI acted as a force multiplier, allowing for rapid troubleshooting of responsive CSS and standardized payment link creation.
Technical & Strategic Architecture:
- Service Design
- Serverless Architecture
- AI-Augmented SDLC
- Bootstrap 5 UI
- HubSpot Integration
The Solution: "The Mapped Link"
To meet the client’s budget and technical constraints, I designed a custom JavaScript routing layer that dynamically maps user selections to pre-configured HubSpot payment URLs.
- Dynamic Routing: Created a JS-based "traffic controller" that toggles between one-time and recurring gift links based on user input.
- Strategic Branding: Developed the "Ancient Earth and Light" visual identity, using Olive Green and Sandy Tan to evoke resilience and Judean landscapes.
- Information Architecture: Structured the site into conceptual "Rooms" (Proposal, Interview, Meeting, Art) to guide different stakeholder journeys.
Strategic Proof: AI Integration Spec
Snippet from the AI-Build Specification for Gemini execution[cite: 12].
Stack: Bootstrap 5, HubSpot, Gemini API
Logic: Plan → Scaffold → Implement
Constraint: Use Bootstrap components everywhere[cite: 12].
This spec ensured that AI agents acted as senior engineers, following high-level architectural constraints to deliver a production-ready MVP
Outcome & Impact:
Operational Savings
Eliminated the need for expensive third-party payment middleware, saving the non-profit thousands in annual licensing fees.
Accelerated Delivery
Completed complex technical integration 60% faster through strategic AI prompt engineering and validation.
