Flow Communications recently designed and handed over new websites to two of its clients, All About Love and the Ubuntu Institute.
All About Love is a romantic writing website whose aim is to nurture writers and share stories, advice and experiences about love and relationships and how to write about them.
The Ubuntu Institute is quite different: this is an international non-profit organisation that aims to empower young people all over the world to be agents of change, and engages them in governance and policy-making. It was founded by Prince Cedza Dlamini, an advocate for the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals, in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2005.
Flow journalist and web designer Kate Thompson, who worked on the Ubuntu Institute site, says: “This was an interesting website to create. They do such important work and I enjoyed feeling like I was contributing towards that. It was also challenging, as the site needs to cater to a more international audience.”
Flow media developer Richard Frank, who worked on All About Love,describes this website as three in one. “It’s a blog, an e-commerce site and an e-learning platform. Our challenge was to take these three very different technologies and present them in a consistent way.
“We believe the website branding and design reflects the joy of fiction writing,” he adds.
