• Showcase the foundation's programs and initiatives effectively.
• Provide a seamless donation process.
• Promote volunteer opportunities.
• Offer a solution to sell children's handcrafted items.

Project Scope

The project involved designing and developing a multiple-page website with the following features:

• Sleek and Modern Design: A visually appealing, user-friendly interface that reflects the foundation's mission and values.
• Multi-Language Support: The website supports three different languages, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience.

Process and Methodology

To meet the objectives of the project, we began with an in-depth discovery and planning phase. We engaged with the Raha Foundation team to understand their goals, target audience, and specific requirements. This led to the development of a comprehensive project plan outlining the scope, timeline, and deliverables.

In the design and development phase, we created wireframes and mockups to visualize the website’s structure. We applied modern design principles and user experience best practices to develop a sleek, intuitive interface, ensuring the design was responsive and optimized for all devices. For content management, we integrated a robust content management system (CMS) with multi-language support and built an admin panel to efficiently manage website content in three different languages.

The e-commerce integration involved setting up the boutique page with secure payment gateway integration for online sales of handcrafted items. In the testing and launch phase, we conducted comprehensive testing to ensure the website functioned seamlessly across all browsers and devices. Finally, we launched the website and provided training to the Raha Foundation team on how to manage the admin panel effectively.
