Heathmere Center
A full redesign and rebuild of Heathmere Center's WordPress website — improving navigation, launching three new youth programme pages, and streamlining how the organisation connects with its community.
About the Project
Heathmere Center strengthens communities through dialogue, education and the arts — with a particular focus on youth and historically marginalised groups. Their programmes build trust, empowerment and a sense of belonging across difference.
The Challenge
The existing website had outdated design and poor navigation, making it hard for visitors to find youth programmes and get involved. The organisation needed a modern, accessible site that clearly communicated their mission and made it easy for schools, community groups and donors to connect.
"They needed easier navigation and a design that matched the quality of their work."
Our approach
Youth Programme Pages
Designed and built three dedicated pages — Beverly Dialogue Youth Corps, In-School Dialogue Programmes, and Community Youth Groups — each tailored to their specific audience.
Combined News & Events
Merged the separate News and Events sections into a single cohesive page with reverse-chronological ordering for easier browsing.
Contact Form Upgrade
Added a drop-down to the contact form so users can specify their interest, made the phone field optional, and ensured submissions route correctly.
Global Updates & Subscriptions
Updated all email addresses site-wide and added an email subscription plugin to the global footer.
What the site delivers
Youth-Focused Pages
Three dedicated programme pages built for different youth audiences — schools, corps members, and community groups.
