Making a difference to vulnerable, isolated
and disadvantaged people in Kent
Kent Community Foundation
The Project
Complete website re-design with fund holder portal & bespoke CMS implementation
Let's talk about a similar projectEstablished in 2001, Kent Community Foundation is part of a national network of 46 Community Foundations committed to improving the lives of people and communities, particularly the most vulnerable, isolated and disadvantaged in Kent.
Having built their previous website in 2010, we were delighted to be asked to work on this latest version and build the new Kent CF website on our Rocket platform.
Search using Algolia
Fast "Elastic" search
We leveraged the power of Algolia - a third party elastic search API - to deliver a friction-less search solution, connecting users with exactly what they're looking for with lightning fast and highly relevant results.
Bespoke application development
Private fund holder portal
Kayo implemented a flexible booking system with a React front end making calls to an API on the Rocket platform. Using this model the user interaction is fluid and fast, enabling course bookings to be made quickly and error free thanks to a complex set of user input validation rules.
First month stats
Increased user engagement
Since launching the website bounce rate has reduced by 10% and page views were up by 25%, compared to last year.
