The Brief
Down Syndrome Cheshire already possessed a well-established website that provided updates on news, events, and maintained an archive of past activities.
The website also included a basic merchandise sales page that utilised PayPal. However, despite showcasing their identity and purpose, it failed to truly establish a recognisable brand and lacked a comprehensive e-commerce solution that embodied all of its values.
The brand of Downs Syndrome Cheshire was concealed amidst a blend of different styles and supplementary pages.
What Down Syndrome Cheshire Said...
It has been a delight working with Graham at Be On Purpose during the development of our new website. Throughout the design and development of the new site Graham has been creative and patient in equal measures! He has listened to the needs, vision and values of the Charity and reflected this in our new site. We are delighted with how it has turned out.
