Nonprofit Website Redesign on WordPress: A Student Thesis Brought to Life

When the centre “Comprendre et Parler” first reached out, their website still ran on technology from 2006 which means : hard-coded, heavy to maintain, and buried under years of accumulated content. Every small update meant wrestling with outdated code, and the dated design no longer reflected the energy of the people behind the cause.
The starting point was anything but ordinary. The organization agreed and worked to let a student build the redesign as their final-year thesis project. It is a decision we find genuinely inspiring, and one that shaped the whole collaboration. Together, we took that foundation, refined the design, and rebuilt everything on WordPress to give the team a modern, intuitive interface they could actually own. But the real shift went deeper than technology. The nonprofit reworked all of its content to be clearer and more immediate, and we made the site speak to everyone — including a sign language version, something the previous site never offered. We also built a custom, automated donation system designed to make supporting the cause effortless.
