The Dante Leigh Foundation
Relaunching the digital footprint of an emerging charity
OVERVIEW
The Dante Leigh Foundation is an emerging charity dedicated to supporting disabled children and disadvantaged adults across the UK and Sierra Leone. Their growing opportunities necessitated a complete overhaul of their digital presence. Despite operating with a limited budget, Hound & Hive partnered with The Dante Leigh Foundation to create a website that not only tells their story but also empowers their mission through a professional, user-friendly website to better reflect their impactful work and engage their supporters more effectively.
Redesigned with WordPress
We began by building a new WordPress website from the ground up ensuring a modern, responsive, and intuitive design that works seamlessly across all devices. Every element was designed with both functionality and aesthetic appeal in mind, giving The Dante Leigh Foundation a polished, professional digital presence. Our goal was to provide a platform that communicates their mission clearly to engage both donors and visitors alike.
Enhanced Usability
Behind the scenes, we implemented user-friendly tools and workflows to ensure ease of use for The Dante Leigh Foundation team, without requiring technical expertise. From managing events to updating news or donor stories, the team now has complete control over their content with minimal friction.
New Shop
As part of the redesign, we added a fully integrated online shop to support fundraising efforts. The shop was designed to be simple to manage while providing an easy, accessible shopping experience for users. With secure payment processing and customisable product listings, this new feature has opened up additional streams of revenue for The Dante Leigh Foundation and enhanced donor engagement.
Rebranding & Copywriting
A strong brand is at the heart of any charity's success. We worked closely with The Dante Leigh Foundation to refresh their visual identity, including updated logos, colour palettes, and typography that align with their mission. Alongside this, we crafted a compelling, SEO-optimised website that communicates their story and impact effectively. The content now reflects the foundation’s tone of compassion and professionalism, inspiring trust and connection with their audience.
