Websites & Learning plat­forms

The River Collective needed a modern, fast, and visually engaging website to support its mission of protecting rivers through education and collaboration.

Their old website started showing symptoms of outdated style, function, became unresponsive and slow, and in general, visually behind the times.

With a complete revamp of the website, we improved the loading speed, clarity, and engagement while ensuring a seamless user experience.

Built around their vision, we used their colours and hand-drawn illustrations to create a personal website that reflects their mission. By refining the structure and storytelling, we made it easier for donors and partners to connect with their work. As a result, the River Collective gained new, financial support in the form of a new business membership shortly after launch.

We’re proud to have supported their efforts. This project of a river conservation website build, aligns well with our passion for river protection and environmental advocacy.

Our role within the River Conservation Website build

Website Performance Overhaul

The old website became slow and outdated and visually unresponsive. We built a high-speed, fully optimized site that ensures smooth navigation and fast load times.

Through several workshops, we guided the River Collective team on restructuring the website to clearly communicate their mission, making it easier for donors and members to engage.

We advised on crucial elements, such as accessible colour choice to make their website more inclusive and implementing interactive features like background color changes on scroll.

We ensured the site is up to date with the latest security and content management standards. We focused on reducing future maintenance burdens for the River Collective team.

As part of our commitment to environmental causes, we offered the River Collective a favourable deal to support their mission.

Shortly after launch, the River Collective secured a new business partnership and donation thanks to their refreshed and professional online presence.

Project Testimonial

What do people say

Profile picture of Vera Knook - the commissioner for river conservation website build project.

Jonas guided us through the process in a clear manner and delegated and corrected the process of content creation. Not only did he make us discover ideas we wouldn’t have otherwise thought of, but he also made sure to implement technical solutions that fit exactly what we needed.

The website structure is now clearer than ever, which is of utmost importance to our donors and members. Jonas took the time to ensure the structure ‘tells a story’ that our members can relate to. It worked, we acquired a new important business membership right after the launch – they loved our website!
