Challenge

Several challenges needed to be addressed to meet the client’s goals:

  • Converting a Static Report into a Digital Experience:
    The client traditionally presented reports in static formats and needed a dynamic, engaging web experience instead.
  • Balancing Storytelling with Data Visualization:
    The challenge was to effectively communicate impact through a blend of human-centered stories and clear, digestible data points.
  • Ensuring Accessibility & Usability for All Audiences:
    The site needed to be fully responsive and ADA-compliant, ensuring inclusivity across different devices and user needs.
  • Maintaining Brand Alignment While Innovating:
    The design had to align with the SF Marin Food Bank’s established brand identity while introducing fresh, engaging digital elements.

Approach

To overcome these challenges, a structured and user-centered approach was taken:

  • Interactive & Web-Based Storytelling:
    Used a scroll-based narrative to guide users through the Food Bank’s impact, keeping engagement high. Micro-interactions and animations added subtle movement, making statistics and highlights more digestible
  • Data-Driven Design & Infographics:
    Transformed key figures into interactive charts and visuals, improving comprehension and engagement.
  • Mobile-First & Accessibility-Focused Execution:
    Ensured the site was fully responsive across all screen sizes. Applied WCAG accessibility standards, including alt text, readable contrast, and keyboard navigability.
  • Seamless CMS Integration for Easy Updates:
    Designed the site using Webflow’s CMS, allowing the Food Bank team to make future updates without requiring technical expertise.
