As one of San Francisco’s leading
graphic design firms, Project6 Design has been honored once again from the
prestigious Horizon Interactive Awards with two new Bronze Awards for website design excellence. The 2016 winners were
just announced and highlight the year’s “best of the best” in interactive media
production.
For fifteen years, the Horizon
Interactive Awards have recognized, promoted and awarded the best websites /
website design, interactive, videos, online advertising, print media and mobile
applications. Each year the organization
receives thousands of entries from all over the world, and the competition is
judged by a volunteer panel of industry professionals with backgrounds in
diverse multi-media, graphic design, advertising and marketing.
Our last blog post focused on the Traina
Foods project, which was one of our Bronze Award winners. Project6’s
other Bronze Award, in the category of Advocacy / Non-Profit, was for the
extensive redesign of the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK) website. Our success on the DRK project was important
as they are a global venture philanthropy firm that supports early stage, high
impact social enterprises. The organization
believes that with early funding and rigorous support, exceptional leaders,
tackling some of society’s most complex problems, can make the world a better
place.
Before we began the project with DRK,
their website only supported desk-tops, and was cluttered and not easy for
visitors to navigate or find what they needed.
Perhaps most importantly it did not persuasively or effectively communicate
the foundation’s powerful mission of supporting passionate individuals who can change
the world.
Our tasks included designing a longer
page scrolling experience across the site in order to showcase individual
organizations and breaking news. Project6’s team also simplified and
streamlined the architecture. By
creating a unified portfolio section, visitors are now able to browse both
organizations and people. In addition we
developed a new community section that allows DRK’s entrepreneurs and alumni to
share news, resources, and upcoming events.
As with most of our projects,
DRK’s new site is built on a WordPress platform and is simple for staff to
update and grow.
