Girlguiding UK is the UK's largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women and provides a unique, girl-only space where members feel comfortable just being themselves.

The objective of the project is to deliver a modern, interactive and audience-centric website that reflects the key messages and demonstrates the relevance of the organisation to the outside world.

The new site must also provide a collaborative space for over half a million adult members. As such, the project will be run in close collaboration with key stakeholders across the organisation.

Dany Maneely, Membership Communications Manager at Girlguiding UK said:

I was very impressed with how quickly 9web understood our organisation, our requirements and our diverse target audiences.

We have every confidence that the 9web team will create a clean, fresh and user focussed design that fully complements our information architecture.

We first redesigned the SOAS website in 2006, working with a diverse group of stakeholders to create a new look and feel that reflected the many aspects of the organisation.

Since then, we have been working with the in house team to understand how the needs of their online audiences have changed and reflected these in a reworked visual design for the website.

This has been achieved by realigning the core design for larger screens and developing new home, landing and content page templates that drive the user journey through the site.

Our relationship with Plan goes from strength to strength and the intranet project builds on our work on their suite of public facing webites over the last 12 months.

Our rigorous information design processes and our creative flair will transform the intranet so that it can become a one stop shop for resources, information and collaboration across the global organisation.

Anna Wili, Internal Communications Adviser at Plan said:

9web recently redesigned our external website and based on the excellent working partnership, we are delighted to have now commissioned them to help us redesign out intranet. Their knowledge of our organisation and their track record in delivering to our requirements makes them an excellent choice.

Over the next couple of months, we will be developing visual branding to reflect the charity’s mission and position it in the market place. We will also be working with the project team to define, design and deliver an online presence for the organisation to meet the short term objectives and create framework for the website to grow with the charity.

Elizabeth Aschroft, Director of Fundraising & Development at Melanoma Focus said:

We recently engaged 9web to help us establish our web presence, and refine our brand position. As a start-up charity we were in need of a bit of focus, but lacked the in-house resources to achieve all of our objectives. We've been delighted with both the strategic support and creative input from the 9web team. Clearly, their past experience with other charitable organisations gave them the edge in understanding our specific needs. We can't thank the team enough for their role in launching our new venture.
