A thoughtful process to delivering the website
Immersion and definition
We worked with Beacon to understand their audiences; individuals looking for counselling, families, schools, workplaces and donors, mapping key user journeys and pain points.
Expression and activation
The design reflects Beacon’s supportive ethos, using calming colours, easy-to-read typography and consistent visual patterns. Carefully considered layouts ensure that information hierarchy feels natural and welcoming.
WordPress development
The site was developed on a custom WordPress build, giving Beacon control over content updates while ensuring strong performance, security and scalability. Blocks, custom post types and structured templates make the CMS intuitive for editorial use.
Accessibility and usability
Accessibility was central to our development, including clear labels, keyboard-friendly navigation, appropriate colour contrast and assistive-technology-friendly markup, to ensure everyone can access support information with confidence.
Beautiful results

- Makes it easy for users to find and engage with the right help.
- Is fully responsive across devices and built on a flexible WordPress CMS.
- Adheres to accessibility best practices to meet the needs of all visitors.

The redesign helps Beacon better embody its values online, while giving staff an efficient content editing experience and future-proofing the site for growth.
