Families in Trauma Website Design Case Study

A short look at a recent project — the brief, the build and the result.

Overview

Creating A Safe & Accessible Digital Space For Families

Internet Creation partnered with Families in Trauma to develop a welcoming, accessible website that reflects the charity's commitment to supporting children, young people and families who have experienced trauma.

The platform was designed to communicate the organisation's services with empathy while making it easy for families, professionals, supporters and referral partners to access information, seek support and engage with the charity.

About the Client

Families in Trauma is a Scottish charity providing trauma-informed support to children, young people and families. Working alongside schools, professionals and communities, the organisation helps individuals build resilience, improve wellbeing and recover from the impact of adverse life experiences through specialist therapeutic support and family-centred services.

Project Overview

The objective was to create a website that reflected the charity's compassionate approach while providing a clear pathway for families, referrers and supporters to access information and services.

The Brief

The website needed to:

  • Clearly explain support services
  • Encourage referrals
  • Support fundraising
  • Promote awareness
  • Improve accessibility
  • Showcase the charity's impact
  • Deliver an easy-to-manage CMS

Our Solution

Internet Creation developed a bespoke WordPress website that balances sensitive messaging with intuitive navigation.

Visitors can quickly understand the charity's services, learn about its impact, access referral information and discover ways to donate or become involved. Every aspect of the website was designed to reduce barriers to accessing support while presenting information in a reassuring and approachable manner.

Key Features

  • Bespoke charity website
  • WordPress CMS
  • Service information pages
  • Referral information
  • Donation support
  • News and events
  • Contact forms
  • Mobile responsive design
  • SEO-friendly architecture

User Experience

Visitors seeking support may already be under significant emotional pressure.

The website has been designed to minimise complexity, using clear navigation, accessible layouts and reassuring content to help users quickly find the information they need without feeling overwhelmed.

Results & Outcomes

The completed website provides Families in Trauma with a professional digital platform that supports the charity's mission.

  • Improves access to support services
  • Strengthens awareness of the charity's work
  • Supports referrals and enquiries
  • Provides flexible content management
  • Creates a scalable platform for future growth

Why This Project Matters

Charity websites need to do far more than provide information — they need to build trust, offer reassurance and encourage people to seek help when they need it most.

This project demonstrates how thoughtful digital design can make essential support services more accessible while strengthening awareness of an organisation's mission.
