Edinburgh Carers Council

Transforming a small charity's online presence with approachability and accessibility in mind.

Transforming a small charity's online presence with approachability and accessibility in mind.

Starting Point

Following a recommendation from one of Starbit’s existing clients, Edinburgh Carers Council got in touch about updating their old website. Being a small charity they had a limited budget, but were very clear on their objectives and were able to prioritise the improvements they wanted to see. Top of the list was a new structure for their content and a new simple menu system through which to access everything.

Solution

Starbit started by producing high-fidelity design mockups with a modern style and colour scheme that were inspired by the digital approaches of some of the leading health charities and support organisations in the UK. The website features a series of unique circle patterns to add to the brand identity, which are also used in the secondary menu system to give a visual cue to the more detailed content. Accessibility was also a key consideration for end-users, so a high-contrast view was added for those with visual impairments. Content management is powered by Drupal and the admin dashboard has been customised to make content editing as easy as possible for the client.
