Project Details
Project Summary
Oracast partnered with the Central Okanagan Food Bank to redesign their website, enhancing its functionality and user experience. The new website was built on WordPress and integrated WooCommerce to streamline payments for events and donations.
The Customer
The Central Okanagan Food Bank is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing food assistance to individuals and families in need within the Central Okanagan region. They rely on community support, donations, and fundraising events to sustain their operations and services.
The Challenge
The Central Okanagan Food Bank's existing website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and lacked essential functionality for online donations and event payments. This made it challenging for users to engage with the organization and for the Food Bank to manage their digital presence effectively. They needed a modern, user-friendly website to improve community engagement and streamline payment processes.
The Approach
We began with a comprehensive needs assessment to understand the Food Bank's goals, target audience, and functional requirements for the website. Our team designed a clean, modern interface that reflects the Food Bank's mission and values.
We built the website on the WordPress platform, ensuring it was easy to update and manage. We integrated WooCommerce to handle payments for events and donations, providing a secure and seamless transaction experience for users.
The website's navigation was simplified, and key information was made easily accessible. We also optimized the site for mobile devices to ensure a consistent experience across all platforms.
The website underwent rigorous testing to ensure all features worked flawlessly. After receiving final approval, we launched the new site and provided training to the Food Bank staff on managing content and payments.
The Outcome
The redesigned Central Okanagan Food Bank website has significantly improved user experience and functionality.
| Enhanced User Engagement: The modern design and intuitive navigation have made it easier for visitors to find information and interact with the Food Bank. | |

Overall, the project has empowered the Central Okanagan Food Bank to better serve their community and achieve their mission more effectively.
