DeVA Local Charity Website Redesign Case Study

New Website

DeVA Local Charity

DeVA Case Study

The old website was outdated, very text-heavy, and lacking in engagement. Webpage headers are unclear, and the user journey is very difficult to follow. The old website did not have enough images for call-to-action messages. It’s also lacking in photos and missing a personable feel. It was built on a very outdated platform that the client could not access to edit and didn’t offer the best experience for internal and external users. It was also not on secure hosting, which made it vulnerable.

After speaking to the client I had a clear insight into what the new website needed. A fully interactive and easy-to-navigate website that had a clear message and was bright with lots of calls to action.
