The Process
1. Research
During the research phase, we looked into different campaign sites around the world for good cause and learnt from the bests.
2. IA
The information architecture was simple. Our primary goal was to get users to engage with the stories and ultimately leads donations. This short journey all happens on the homepage.
3. Wireframes
Based on the minimalist design heuristic, our microsite is simple but tells every story.
4. UI Design and Development
UI Design and development managed by our colleagues at Isobar.
