About

Project Details

Website

Our team built an entirely new Royal Change website from the ground up. Our client knew it was time to say goodbye to their original Weebly website created 4 years ago, so we developed the new site on WordPress with fully functional plugins and a new organizational structure.

Design System

We developed a fully fleshed out design system for our client. It includes logos, a new color scheme, and many examples of uniform UI components that will help create a cohesive brand throughout Royal Change products.

Member Portal

With their growing membership service called the Sydney Squad, it was our job to find a new way to make Squad benefits more accessible. We created an online member portal that houses every paid benefit directly on the Royal Change website.
