Pk climate action

The Brief

Perth & Kinross Climate Action is a not-for profit group created by the Perth & Kinross Council that focuses on promoting positive climate action in the local Perthshire region.

Their goal is to share news on the climate emergency, inform local Perthsire residents of the climate actions that are being taken across Perth & Kinross, provide a platform for individuals to share experiences and ideas and encourage more people to get involved and celebrate the valuable work being undertaken by communities to tackle climate change.

When the client, Perth & Kinross council, approached Inspire, they did not have an existing website dedicated to climate action. Therefore, the main goal of the project was to create just this; A purpose-built website which is dedicated to informing residents of on-going climate action, as well as encouraging more positive action to be taken by individuals, groups and communities throughout the region.

Overall, the key requirements of the project were to:

• Create a bespoke website that is user-friendly and engaging
• Build a friendly design that is easy on the eye and welcoming to all
• Ensure the website is easy to update with new content
• Ensure there are enough pages and sections so that key messages can be communicated
• Make the website quickly as Perth & Kinross wanted it to ready to go live before the COP 26 conference, leaving us with a tight deadline
• The ability to advertise and promote local climate action events, with an included button for people to list their own events (which can them be approved or denied by the council)

What We Did

We created a well-functioning, well-designed website that is stripped back in its presentation so that the council can present important information in an easily digestible way.

We incorporated friendly illustrations that were supplied by the client and positioned them strategically throughout the site to help create a sense of inclusiveness and positivity. This helped create an inviting-looking website that engages people and, most importantly, gets people interested in climate change and climate action.

We also ensured that there were easy-to-manage content blocks built into the CMS so that the client could upload, update, move and manage their content moving forward without help from any third-party marketing companies. As always, we provided full training on the CMS platform for that the client felt comfortable and confident of managing the content and web changes by themselves.

The Outcome

The client was very pleased with the look and functionality of the website. We also met the tight project deadline that was specified from the outset, which further delighted Perth council.

Since the build, Perth & Kinross Council has recommended us to other councils in Scotland who are also looking to create new websites so that they can promote community-led projects and positive action, be it around climate or other important issues that we are facing as both individuals and as a nation.

As a small agency, Inspire very much enjoys these community-led, third-sector projects. If you feel you could benefit from a bespoke web build to help promote positive change and action within your local council or region, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and find out more about how we can help.

FREE 20 MINUTE WEBSITE CONSULT

Unlike many web design or marketing agencies, we do not run automated software and send you out a long technical Website Review Report on what you or indeed your last developer have missed.

We recognise that the web is evolving at a tremendous pace, one real month is equal to one web year, so what was delivered just a few years ago, may very well be looking tired and dated.

At the four BNI Groups we are members of, we are fully signed up to Givers Gain and offer referral clients 20 minutes of our consultancy time (at no charge).

We cover a range of areas such as "What is the objective of your website?"; "What is your business model?"; "Who is your audience?"; then we can cover User eXperience; Usability; Site Analytics; Search Engine Optimisation (On-Site).

We know the value of both your and our time but we also know that we're keen to build relationships and this approach is the first building block in establishing that mutual trust and respect.
