Branding and custom website build for a branch of a Catholic organisation in the UK
The client is a branch or 'Circle' of a larger social organisation comprising of catholic members. The organisation focuses on 'family, friendship and fun' while also being committed to fundraising activities and events.
The client approached us asking for a new website that would appeal to those aged 25-40. The website would be simple yet promote the Circle, while including a restricted 'members only' area where users, upon logging in, could view information about upcoming events, their profile information and internal contact information.
After planning the website with the client over several weeks, we decided on a brannding direction using bright, vivid colours to engage potential users. Some licenced stock imagery was be used to. maximise visual appeal.
We built a custom theme from scratch for the website using Wordpress as a content management system and set up the members area using some custom PHP, rather than over bloating the site unnecessarily with plugins.
As part of the initial launch we carried out an on-page SEO tasks such as image compression and server caching. We also helped the user set up tools to monitor and measure traffic metrics and the health of the site.
The user is able to edit and manage the website content themselves, with security and plugin maintence being carried out by us on an ongoing basis.
