From 'we need to sort our website' to done and ready
CREATED FOR CHARITIES
You have a busy charity with so much to achieve and yet, the thought of your website sits heavily. The free time you need to even make a start never comes and everyday moves you further away from ever getting it started/finished/updated.
That's why Design Week has been created especially for charities. I can quickly help you tick 'website' off your list and build you a beautiful site with impact, purpose and ease of use in just one week.
No time to spend months building a remarkable website?

Hi, I'm Lou
I specialise in the charity sector and love the passion and ambition of everyone I work with.
With my background in Boardroom and Senior Level digital strategy helping organisations turn complex ideas into meaningful online experiences, I know what gets your audience to act. I spent 20 years as CEO of a software company, working with organisations of every size to build their technical knowledge and design the structures, systems and software that make them more efficient.
But my career began with websites: building them and optimising them for search. I wanted to return to that, and to bring everything I've learned since to the charity sector.When we work together I'll create a clear, simple strategy and purposeful design to build you a website that feels human and impactful without unnecessary complexity. And once we've worked through the simple step by step process, you can just leave the rest to me and I'll leave you to get on with the brilliant work you do.
Charities need a high level of expertise, but they shouldn't need an agency budget to get it. I offer a clear process and a website that works hard for your cause.

Many charities know their website no longer showcases the incredible work they do but the thought of a large agency project can feel expensive, slow and overwhelming. Think Violet was created to offer something different.
