About the Organization

Wayfinder Developments, formerly Co:Here Developments Society, is a not-for-profit consultancy helping faith-based organizations reimagine their land into affordable housing solutions.

Objectives:
  • Improve site architecture and user experience for improved content discovery
  • Support a full rebrand being executed by Monday Creative
  • Drive conversion of site visitors into contacts and, ultimately, clients
  • Establish SEO foundations for the new name and domain, to increase search engine traffic and drive future growth
  • Implement a fully responsive solution backed by WordPress CMS
PHASE 1

Prototyping

Wayfinder Developments built their first project, Co:Here Housing, in 2018. It quickly became clear that there was a greater need for their team’s expertise, to help faith-based organizations turn underutilized land and aging buildings into affordable local housing. They entered into a full rebrand, including their name, and their website needed an overhaul.

The focus of this redesign project was on leading with their story and values. We also wanted to set them up for future success, by designing and building out hidden News and Projects areas for their team to publish those pieces when they’re ready.

PHASE 2

Style

The Wayfinder rebrand included a new name, new logo, and an entirely new colour palette, with soothing natural greens and beige against black and white. We used the rays of light from their new logo in background patterns across the site, to offset big photos of their first project and recognizable Vancouver views.

Phase 3

Bringing it All Together

The new Wayfinder Developments site makes bold use of their new branding, and feels immediately welcoming to visitors. Their storytelling radiates from each page, and it’s easy to understand what they do and how to get in touch about potential projects. And it’s built on our low-code site builder, Refoundry, so it will be easy for their team to add new content as their organization grows.
