I designed the website for the Council for Voluntary Services in Hounslow. This is an independent body that supports, advises and represents all voluntary groups in the London Borough of Hounslow.
Their old website was just a single page with a few logos. They wanted something better, designed to match their colour scheme, with far more content. Importantly, they must be able to edit the content themselves and publish regular news items.
I designed the website using WordPress as the content management system (CMS). WordPress is an easy enough tool for the staff at Hounslow CVS to use to edit their website’s pages and posts.
The site was designed to make content easy to find: there’s a clear menu on the left which expands to show sub-sections; big can’t miss ‘em buttons at the top to direct visitors to the most-visited sections; and a search form immediately below the menu for those users who prefer searching to browsing.
The website is well-coded and its HTML validates 100%. Care has been taken to ensure it’s accessible to disabled visitors, and important aspects such as font sizes and colour contrast have been considered.
I’m always interested in working with other CVS or similar nonprofit organisations – find out more about hiring me.
