Overview

Web Design & Development Project Overview

The Pink Wig Foundation was started in memory of Tracy Dinh, and it does one thing: it gives money to women aged sixteen to fifty in Saskatchewan who are going through cancer treatment, so that a diagnosis does not also become a financial emergency. We have worked with Pink Wig from the beginning, through more than one version of the website, and the job has never really been marketing — it has been making sure two very different people can both find what they need in about ten seconds.

Those two people are someone who wants to give and someone who needs help, and the site puts Donate and Get Help side by side rather than making either of them hunt. Tracy’s story leads the navigation because it is the reason the foundation exists. Recipients, sponsors, the board and the volunteer path each get their own place, along with a media kit for the press coverage a fundraising campaign attracts. Beyond the website we handle the hosting, the backups, the security and the day-to-day Google Workspace and email support, so the people running the foundation can spend their time on the events instead.

Case study

Deep Dive

What actually went into Pink Wig Foundation’s build, decision by decision — and the service behind each one.

  • 01

    Two visitors who need opposite things

    Someone arriving to donate and someone arriving because they have just been diagnosed are in completely different states, and a charity site that treats them as one audience fails the second one. Donate and Get Help sit beside each other in the navigation, both reachable from anywhere, neither buried under About. It is not a clever piece of design. It is the whole job.

    The story leads, because it is the reason

    Most organisations put their origin under About, three clicks down, where nobody reads it. Pink Wig exists in memory of Tracy Dinh, and Tracy's Story is the first item in the navigation — ahead of the mission, ahead of the board, ahead of the donate button. For a foundation carrying somebody's name, that ordering is the most consequential structural decision on the site.

    Recipients are the proof

    A foundation asking for money has to show where the last money went. Recipients is a section of the site rather than a line in an annual report, which does two things at once — it reassures a donor deciding whether this is real, and it shows a woman wondering whether to apply that people like her have already been helped and it went fine.

    More of the job than the website

    Small foundations do not have an IT department, and the gap gets filled by whoever is nearest. Alongside hosting, backups and security, the arrangement here covers the email and workspace side too — the unglamorous account-level things that would otherwise land on a volunteer board. It is a small commitment that removes an entire category of problem from people who have better uses for an evening.
