The Challenge
Based in Horsham, West Sussex, The Phoenix Stroke Club are celebrating over 45 years of restoring confidence and improving communication and mobility for stroke survivors.
It was an honour to help them with their new website to help the charity attract new club members and volunteers.
Our Approach
The new website needed to be a window into the work of the charity, what goes on at the club, and how members enjoy and benefit from it.
It was always going to be image-heavy, showing the people and activities that make the club so special. But the approach went way beyond that. We re-architected the site, with a new sitemap, and got the client's feedback before proceeding.
Next, we attended, on different days, club meetings to get a feel for who attends and what goes on. This gave us a range of new photos to use in the banners throughout the site.
We explored wireframes with the client and then moved on to the designs, creating mockups for all of the important pages.
Finally, we built the website in an easy-to-use, CMS so they have full control to keep it up to date with news, volunteering roles, and general happenings at the club.
Results
"The project was well managed with plenty of communication throughout the process to ensure we were happy with the content and drafts. Made Simple Media added a lot of value to the content of the site, including photography, and made some useful suggestions based on their experience. We are really happy with the end result, its been live for a few weeks now and we've already had a lot of positive feedback from visitors to the site."

Due to business expansion I needed to make some amendments to a existing WordPress website. I asked Made Simple Media for some suggestions on the ideas I had and he was super helpful and came up with some great ideas to make the website perform and navigate better. Him and his team then did a great job in putting the ideas to practice and I was kept informed as the work was underway. Highly recommend Dave and his team!

We are delighted with the quality of our new website, which has enabled us to effectively communicate our various areas of work and build an engaged and increasingly active audience. The common-sense design and easy-to-navigate structure has also helped us establish our organisational identity following a full rebrand in 2017. The support has been excellent throughout.

Very helpful and professional company and people. They created a trading website for us and were able to even provide the SEO back up and continuing support. The website has been running now for a few years and has increased the online sales dramatically. Very supportive with changes as required. Would definitely recommend.
