CHALLENGE

One organization. Many ways to help.

BARC supports animal rescue and welfare in Bhutan while relying on donors, volunteers, travelers, and international supporters. Its digital experience needed to make those pathways easier to understand while establishing a more consistent and credible visual identity.

DONATION FLOW

Making support easier to find — and easier to complete

Donation was a critical action for the nonprofit, so I treated it as a core user journey rather than a secondary page.

Persistent donation CTA

Donation remains discoverable across high-intent pages.

Clear giving options

Users can understand how their contribution supports BARC.

Reduced decision friction

A focused donation experience keeps secondary navigation out of the transaction.

DONATION FLOW

Designing for supporters on the go

Because many international supporters encounter BARC while traveling or browsing on mobile, I prioritized readable content, prominent actions, and short paths to high-value information.

Extending the experience beyond the website

The visual system expanded into fundraising reports, brochures, social templates, traveler materials, and campaign assets—giving BARC a more consistent identity across supporter touchpoints.

“Nonprofit UX extends beyond a website. Trust is built at every touchpoint, online and off.”

Next to measure: donation completion, CTA click-through, and mobile drop-off. Analytics weren’t available during this project, so the results show shipped scope, not conversion lift.
