Introducing Pride in Coalville.
Client: Pride in Coalville
Sector: Non-Profit
Project Overview
Pride in Coalville came about a little differently from most of my projects. After I pledged £100 to support Coalville CAN, Pride in Coalville got in touch to ask whether I'd be interested in supporting them too. I wasn't in a position to make another financial contribution, but after seeing they were already using Squarespace, I offered something else instead: my time and a complete refresh of their website.
The existing site did the job, but over time it had become cluttered with pages and wasn't as easy to navigate as it could have been. The aim was to simplify everything, give the website a much stronger visual identity and make it easier for people to find information, get involved and support Pride in Coalville.
The result is a colourful, modern website that feels completely at home with the organisation behind it. From information about Pride Day and ways to get involved, through to donations, partnerships and everything else happening around the organisation, the website gives Pride in Coalville one central place to bring everything together.
My Approach
With Pride in Coalville already having its own identity, this project was less about starting from scratch and more about taking what was there and making much better use of it. I rebuilt the main pages, simplified the navigation and worked closely with Keiran to create something that could be bold and colourful without becoming difficult to use.
I also added a few custom touches along the way, including dedicated Stripe donation buttons, a custom mobile menu background and a prominent quick-exit button within the navigation.
Since the redesign, I've continued helping whenever something needs changing, fixing, or Keiran has managed to break something while having a play around in Squarespace. It's become an ongoing relationship rather than simply a website build, and one I'm proud to have as part of my work in Coalville.
