A second charity,
on the same platform.

the story

// 01 · the challenge

Nothing here can
look borrowed.

World Refugee Support needed a site for shelter, food, water, legal aid and livelihoods, and a visitor should never guess it shares a platform with anyone.

Which made it a test of the architecture: everything on screen is theirs, everything under it already existed.

// 02 · what we built

Same bones,
a different face.

The organisation is a row

Brand, palette, typefaces, navigation and donation presets come out of the database and are snapshotted into the build.

An identity of its own

Its own palette, four typefaces and a photo-led hero. Shared components underneath, nothing inherited on screen.

The charity names its own work

Projects are Appeals, blog posts are Field Stories, focus areas are How we help. The navigation and the URLs follow.

Pledges, not card payments

Donations are offered and recorded the way this charity already collects them. The card path is built and sitting idle.

// 03 · the stack

Boring where it should be.

Proven parts, assembled carefully. Novelty goes into the product, not the plumbing.
