Voluntary Action North Somerset (VANS) needed a modern, accessible website that better represented their vital community work while improving usability for both volunteers and organisations. Their previous site was information-heavy, difficult to navigate, and lacked a clear structure for the multiple audiences they serve — from individuals seeking volunteer roles to local groups looking for support.
We designed and developed a new WordPress website with a strong community focus and modern layout, making information easier to find and engagement smoother. The new homepage highlights key actions — “Volunteer Registration” and “Start Volunteering” — with clear call-to-action buttons front and centre.
Each section of the site was restructured around accessibility and clarity, ensuring that users could quickly find opportunities, support services, and training information. The content was simplified and presented through a clean, welcoming design that reflects the organisation’s people-first approach.
The new site also integrates social feeds and newsletter signup functionality, helping VANS communicate more effectively with their volunteer base and partners. It was built to be responsive, SEO-friendly, and easy for their in-house team to update through the WordPress admin.
“The new website has made it so much easier for volunteers and organisations to connect. The design feels approachable and friendly — exactly what we wanted for our community.”
