Website Redevelopment
Poole Waste Not Want Not
Poole Waste Not Want Not, a charity dedicated to reducing food waste and supporting the local community, recognised the need for an enhanced web presence. Their existing online footprint was minimal, limiting their ability to connect with individuals in need, current members, and potential supporters or sponsors. They sought a new website that would be engaging and informative, with clear navigation and streamlined processes for member registration to aid in their administrative tasks.
Solution
To meet the charity’s needs, Digital Storm undertook a comprehensive design and development project for the Poole Waste Not Want Not website. Our approach included several key elements:
-
Understanding the Mission and Audience: We began by conducting in-depth meetings with the charity to understand their mission, target audiences, and specific requirements for the new site. This phase involved identifying key functionalities and content needs.
-
User-Friendly Design: We developed a design that balanced visual appeal with functionality. Bright, welcoming colours and imagery were used to reflect the charity’s positive impact on the community. The content was structured to cater to three primary audience groups: community members in need, current members, and supporters or sponsors.
-
Easy Access to Information: We ensured the website provided easy access to crucial information such as location details, operating hours, and services offered. We also created sections for news, events, and success stories to encourage support and engagement.
-
Intuitive Navigation: The website features a clear and intuitive navigation system, with prominent placement of key pages in the main menu, a search function for quick access to specific content, and well-defined categories and subcategories to prevent information overload.
-
Functional Enhancements: The site includes online forms for new member registration, which simplifies the process and reduces the administrative workload for the charity. We also integrated a secure online donation platform to facilitate contributions from supporters and created an interactive calendar to keep the community informed about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.
Result
The launch of the new Poole Waste Not Want Not website resulted in significant positive outcomes for the charity. The site saw a notable increase in traffic from both community members seeking assistance and potential supporters looking to contribute. The online registration forms streamlined the membership process, reducing the administrative workload and allowing the charity to focus more on their core mission. The website has become a central hub for the community, providing vital information about food distribution, volunteering opportunities, and events. It has successfully met and exceeded the charity’s goals, offering a robust platform to support their mission of reducing food waste and aiding the local community.
