Youth For Christ Zimbabwe Website on Multiple Devices

Project Overview

Youth For Christ (YFC) Zimbabwe approached us with an outdated website that no longer supported their mission of engaging and empowering young people. Their previous digital presence was their first attempt at establishing an online presence, but it failed to meet their goals for youth engagement, content clarity, and mobile access.

The organization needed a complete digital transformation that would modernize their online presence while maintaining their ministry-appropriate approach. Their website needed to be more accessible, engaging, and easier to maintain for their non-technical staff.

Our task was to design and develop a modern, user-centered website that would effectively communicate YFC's mission, increase youth engagement, and simplify content management for their team. This would be their first major digital transformation effort, setting the foundation for their future online presence.

The Challenge

Design for Youth: Creating an engaging design that appeals to young people while maintaining appropriate ministry standards and values.
Mobile Responsiveness: Ensuring the site works flawlessly on mobile devices, which are the primary way youth access the internet in Zimbabwe.
Program Showcase: Better highlighting core programs like Life Choices, School Outreach, Community Impact, and Leadership Development.
Content Management: Creating an intuitive system for non-technical staff to easily update content and manage programs.
Storytelling & Engagement: Promoting success stories and creating clear pathways for volunteer involvement and program participation.
Performance Optimization: Ensuring fast loading times and smooth performance on slower networks common in the region.

Our Approach

Comprehensive Audit: Conducted a thorough analysis of the existing site, identifying key pain points and opportunities for improvement in user experience and functionality.
Mobile-First Design: Developed wireframes and prototypes prioritizing mobile experience, ensuring the site is fully responsive and optimized for all devices.
Intuitive Navigation: Created a clear and logical site structure with streamlined navigation to help users easily find programs, stories, and ways to get involved.
Youth-Focused Visuals: Incorporated modern, engaging visuals and interactive elements that appeal to young people while maintaining professional standards.
