Wirral Mencap came to the team at Engage Web with a clear vision for their new website. They wanted the homepage to feel cleaner, simpler and easier to navigate, while still looking modern and in keeping with the wider Mencap brand.
Rather than overcomplicating things, the aim was to create a website that felt fresh, welcoming and practical for the people using it every day.
We used the recent National Mencap brand update as a strong foundation, helping Wirral Mencap stand out as a forward-thinking local branch of the charity. The new design brought the brand colours and visual style together neatly, giving the site a consistent look without losing its personality.
Behind the scenes, we built the website using our latest page-building approach, making it much easier for the Wirral Mencap team to update content themselves. Accessibility was also a key focus throughout the project, especially as some members have visual impairments. We carried out accessibility checks during the design and build process to help ensure the new website remained clear, usable and compliant.
It was a real pleasure to work with the Wirral Mencap team again on this latest project. Their care for the people they support came through clearly in every piece of feedback, and that made the whole process feel collaborative, thoughtful and rewarding. The finished website now gives them a modern, accessible platform they can feel proud of – and one that’s ready to support their work for years to come.
