Overview

A site that feels like a welcome, not a form.

Te Arahanga do vital work in the community, but their old site was hard to navigate and didn't reflect the warmth of their kaupapa. People couldn't quickly find the service or contact they needed.

We rebuilt it from the brief up — clear pathways to each service, a friendly tone, and an accessible, mobile-first layout that puts getting help within a tap or two.

01 · THE BRIEF

The challenge

An outdated, cluttered site made it hard for whānau to find services and for staff to keep content current.

02 · DESIGN

Our approach

From their brief, AI drafted layout options; our designers shaped a warm, accessible design the team approved in one round.

03 · BUILD

The result

A fast, editable WordPress site the team runs themselves — and more of the right people getting in touch.
