The challenge

Needed a clear, interactive platform to showcase youth stories, host podcast media, accept online donations, and run merchandise sales without overwhelming users.

What we did

Built custom site architecture including Team/Board bios, dedicated Podcast hub, and interactive Programme landing pages.

Integrated PayFast for donations and created custom donation pages highlighting Section 18A tax info and NGOsource badges.

Developed a merchandise shop (t-shirts, bucket hats, accessories) utilizing custom order forms and PayFast payment links.

Added compliance footers, PAIA manuals, NPC registration details, and fraud disclaimers.
