Leanne Kate Suen Fa Value Collective
A customisable website framework for a design-led non-profit
About the project
| client | Value Collective |
|---|---|
| year | 2022 |
| role | Lead web developer, project coordinator, UI/UX design |
| collaborators | Atima Ng, Elisane Tremblay, Zoe Mathers (UI, front-end, branding), Aculina Turculet (visual design, branding) |
| the problem | Value Collective is a growing non-profit needing a well-organised website to showcase and promote their work to attract future investors. |
| the solution | We created a custom wordpress theme as well as a branding kit for the website's thumbnails. |
Value Collective being a designer-led organisation, our goal was to create a framework to express the creativity of their team rather than a polished website.
Their team was comfortable with front-end development but lacked back-end skills.
We designed a website structure which would be easy to customise and provided educational support through workshops and Q/A sessions to make sure they would be comfortable using the final product.
As a non-profit, they also had a very limited budget.
Therefore, we focused on implementing open-source tools to create a CMS which would be sustainable on the long-run.
