Designing a website for a good cause has been a sensationally uplifting experience. It gave us a newfound motivation that our work would contribute to raise awareness and help those living with autism spectrum disorders.
The Together for Autistic People Foundation is a Hungarian charity.They have been operating under the name Út a Smolyért Alapítvány since 2016, but in 2019 they changed their name to further express their commitment to the cause. Since then, the foundation has organised a number of charity concerts, flash mobs and other seasonal events over the years in an attempt to break down the social stigma around autism.
The foundation expressed that they need a website which would serve as a simple platform for people to donate.
We sat down with our client multiple times to get a thorough understanding of what they wanted to communicate with the website. We concentrated on their challenges and together we conceptualized the functionality that would help to solve those issues. Looking internationally, UNICEF had a similar donation system to what our client required. Even though our technological assets come nowhere near to what UNICEF has, we were determined to give our client a solution that’d be just as great, while staying within their strict budget. Our designers created wireframes thanks to their profound UI/UX knowledge. We also discussed how the content and the foundation’s message would be the most effective. By the end of this stage we had a comprehensive visual layout of the website.
In the end, a lot of consultation, planning and work achieved its goal. Not only did the Foundation staff receive positive feedback from the target audience of the site, but the stakeholders were also very impressed - and more! It was also honoured by the creative profession with the title of Home Fund of the Year in the Foundation category.
Over the years, the Pantheon has become a gathering place for vintage car enthusiasts from Basel and the surrounding area. The impressive building houses a wonderful exhibition, and we have created a website that brings a piece of the past into the future.
