Giant Digital, a leading UK-based digital agency renowned for its expertise in accessibility and innovative web solutions, has been awarded a significant contract to redesign the website for Claire House Children's Hospice, a vital charity providing hospice care for babies, children and young adults in Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales.
The collaboration between Giant Digital and Claire House marks a pivotal moment in the hospice's digital strategy, aiming to enhance its online presence and significantly improve accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. This partnership underscores the growing importance of inclusive digital design in the non-profit sector and highlights Giant Digital's position as a frontrunner in creating accessible online experiences.
Giant Digital has built a strong reputation for developing cutting-edge, user-friendly websites with a particular focus on accessibility. The agency's portfolio includes a diverse range of clients from various sectors, but their specialisation in creating inclusive digital environments has made them a natural choice for organisations serving individuals with complex needs.
We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Claire House Children's Hospice on this crucial project," said Simon Evans, Customer Success Director at Giant Digital. "Our team's unwavering commitment to accessibility and our extensive experience in this field make us uniquely qualified to create a website that will truly serve Claire House's community. We understand the vital role that accessible technology plays in supporting families during challenging times, and we're honoured to contribute to this mission.
The redesign project will involve a comprehensive overhaul of Claire House's current website, implementing the latest accessibility standards and technologies. Key features of the new website will include:
- Optimised user journeys to key content
- An enhanced design that works beautifully across all devices
- Improved content and signposting to aid navigation and increase engagement
Hannah Shannon, Head of Communications at Claire House Children's Hospice, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: "Giant Digital's exceptional commitment to accessibility aligns perfectly with our organisation's values and objectives. We're confident that this website redesign will not only enhance our online presence but also significantly improve our ability to connect with and support the families who rely on our services. In today's digital age, having an accessible website is crucial for ensuring that all families, regardless of their circumstances, can access the information and support they need."
The project is set to commence immediately, with an expected launch date in 2025. Throughout the development process, Giant Digital will work closely with Claire House staff, families, and accessibility experts to ensure that the new website meets the highest standards of user experience and inclusivity.
This collaboration between Giant Digital and Claire House Children's Hospice represents a significant step forward in digital inclusion for the healthcare and charity sectors.
