Not For Profit Web Design & Development

Website & CMS Project

ICV is a community driven non-for-profit organisation based in Canberra. They work with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people to build brighter futures. ICV approached Launch Lab to overhaul their existing website, which had become outdated and needed a complete design, development and user experience overhaul.

Working with ICV, we changed the information architecture and the design of the website to be more minimal, easier to find important pages, and we implemented a design style that made consuming content on the site much easier.

To ensure a good reading experience for the user the website design style focuses on white space balanced with large images from ICV's library of vibrant images as well as bright buttons used to highlight calls to action. The layout also breaks text areas in to bite size chunks giving focus to important text blocks. The website is responsive, ensuring a great user experience is had whatever device is being used.

A great user experience doesn't end with the user interface. All of the websites we develop are optimised for fast page load speeds. This ensures the web pages load quickly to ensure a good experience for the user, plus search engines like Google use page load speed as an SEO ranking factor.

The content management system has been developed specifically for ICV's needs using the Django web development framework. This ensures it isn't bloated and provides ICV with exactly the tools they need to support their own website.
