Brief & Goals

UBAT’s previous website was primarily informational, listing drives and events without effective storytelling or easy updates. Key aims included:

  • Presenting UBAT’s mission more compellingly

  • Structuring information on ongoing drives, donations, and impact

  • Empowering volunteers and donors with clear, up-to-date info

  • Enabling UBAT staff to self-manage content and events

Strategy & Redesign

1. UX & IA Overhaul
  • Intuitive Navigation: Designed primary menu: About, Mission, Projects, Get Involved, Donate, Contact

  • Project Categorization: Organized drives by type (e.g., health, food distribution, flood relief, Raksha Bandhan), improving discoverability

2. Visual & Brand Enhancements
  • Emotive Imagery: Featured engaging photos from drives (e.g., food distribution, medical camps) to reflect compassion and impact

  • Consistent Palette: Used warm, trustworthy tones that align with the nonprofit’s community-first values

3. CMS & Admin Dashboard
  • Custom CMS Built: Allowed UBAT team to add/edit projects, update dates, volunteer lists, and upload media

  • Donation Details: Easy form-based entry for bank info, fundraising links, and alerts

4. CMS Features
  • Instant Publishing: Quick live updates on drives and fundraisers

  • Volunteer Profiles: Support for editing lead/volunteer names, roles, and photos

  • Responsive Design: Works effectively on mobile—essential for field updates
