Website Redesign for Lala Salama | EqualReach
Lala Salama, a Kenya-based charity improving food security and education, needed a website that matched their vibrant "impact with a smile" mission. Their existing site used a traditional NGO layout that informed but failed to inspire, underperformed on conversions, disconnected from their bold brand identity, and lacked dynamic storytelling for a modern audience.
EqualReach matched Lala Salama with web design specialists who rebuilt the site on Webflow using a vibrant color palette, bold typography, scrolling narrative with integrated visuals, and clear benefit-oriented calls to action. The design captured community energy while enabling easy content management for the small charity team.
Early metrics show increased engagement with visitors spending more time exploring content, higher conversion rates from streamlined donation flows, and stronger brand recognition reflecting Lala Salama's joyful mission. The redesign transformed their digital presence into a powerful tool for amplifying impact and supporter connection.
Problem
Lala Salama's existing website did its job. It communicated their mission and provided essential information for supporters. But it no longer reflected who they had become. As the organization grew, so did the ambition of their storytelling — and their digital presence hadn't kept pace.
The project faced several key challenges:
Narrative Gap: The existing site used a traditional NGO layout that failed to communicate Lala Salama's distinct personality — what their brief described as "impact with a smile." It informed but did not inspire.
Conversion Underperformance: The donation flow and calls to action were buried in a design that didn't guide visitors toward action, limiting the site's ability to turn interest into support.
Brand Identity Disconnect: The site's visual identity did not reflect the boldness, color, or community energy central to Lala Salama's evolving brand.
Tight Scope, High Stakes: As a small charity, Lala Salama needed efficient, high-quality delivery — with no margin for lengthy revision cycles or scope creep.
The Old Website: A Solid Foundation Awaiting Transformation
The previous website did its job, providing essential information about Lala Salama’s mission and programmes. But its more traditional layout lacked the dynamic storytelling needed to truly captivate a modern audience. It was a clean but safe design that fell short of communicating the organisation's "impact with a smile" brand.
Action Taken: A Bold, Colourful, and Story-Driven Redesign
Our Web Design specialists partnered directly with the Lala Salama team to build more than a website; they crafted a digital destination. Embracing their vision for a "cheeky, colourful twist," our team created a visual identity that was consistent, memorable, and full of personality.
Here’s how the specialist team did it:
- Vibrant Colour Palette: They infused the site with bold, energetic colours from their brand guide, highlighting key sections and creating a sense of movement.
- Bold Typography: Our specialists selected modern, expressive fonts, using large, punchy headlines that grabbed attention and set a joyful tone.
- Storytelling Through Design: Instead of static pages, the team built a scrolling narrative. They integrated powerful visuals, photos and videos provided by the Lala Salama team, with compelling text that told the stories of the young people and communities they serve.
- Clear Calls to Action (CTAs): The team strategically placed clear, benefit-oriented CTAs throughout the site, making it simple for visitors to donate, get involved, or learn more. The new donation flow, for example, highlights how a small amount provides daily porridge for children.
Webflow Development: The site was built on Webflow, giving the Lala Salama team the flexibility and control to easily manage and update their content themselves.
Result: From Stagnant to Spirited
The new Lala Salama website is a powerful tool for change. By transforming their digital presence, our Web Design specialists helped them better connect with their audience and amplify their mission.
While we're still compiling long-term data, early post-launch metrics show significant improvements:
- Increased Engagement: Visitors now spend more time on the site, exploring multiple pages and interacting with the content.
- Higher Conversion Rates: The streamlined donation and sign-up process has led to an increase in online donations.
- Stronger Brand Recognition: The new design now accurately reflects Lala Salama’s unique brand, making their mission more memorable and resonant with supporters.
- Positive Feedback: The team and their supporters are thrilled with the new look, validating our shared vision of doing good with a smile.
Our collaboration with this phenomenal client, Lala Salama, showcases the power of design to drive impact. The new website is a vibrant, living testament to the joy and power of empowering young people.
