The Matt Haycox Foundation is a charity which provides financial support to the lives of seriously and terminally ill children and their families. We launched their new website in early July, to coincide with their celebrity fundraising event at the London Eye!
The site was beautifully designed by our partners at Metric, and despite its friendly interface has a surprising amount of technical complexity, including:
- E-commerce system including online auction functionality to enable bidding on fundraising experiences, such as dinner with actors and VIP tickets to events.
- Social feed on the homepage automatically pulling posts from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
- Custom campaign system that allows for individual and competing team events – real-time campaign donation totals are pulled from JustGiving using a custom integration, as JustGiving no longer provide this functionality in their API(!).
- Countdown timers and custom graphs for the above campaigns.
- Multiple taxonomies to enable different but interlinked categories of content, such as campaigns, events and, success stories.
- Single or regular donation function integrated with JustGiving.
- Parallax animations on images and objects across the site.
As always with our websites the site is also responsive, Retina compatible includes full CMS and integrates Google Analytics. We are very pleased with the results – you can find the new site now live at matthaycoxfoundation.org.
