Overview
Friends and Advocates is a community organisation supporting adults with mental health needs through programmes, workshops, and social connection. Their website required clearer navigation, stronger readability, and improved accessibility to support both staff and visitors. The redesign involved creating a new layout, refining the visual hierarchy, and rebuilding the front end using custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on top of a base WordPress installation. A recent update was also completed to refine styling and ensure continued long term usability.
