The Project:

This redesign and redevelopment project for CanTeen New Zealand was undertaken towards the end of 2009, as a revamp of the website Terabyte first created in 2005. The Terabyte team enjoyed the opportunity to take these many years of experience working with CanTeen and turn that knowledge into a modern website which really sets the standard for not for profit websites in New Zealand.

Key goals for this project were to modernise the look and feel of the site, to explore new technology in order to support the audience expectations of the site, and to present content in an accessible and readable manner by updating the information architecture and bringing the site into alignment with new web standards and guidelines. As a not-for-profit organisation it is also vital that the website facilitate donations to the organisation and that it raise awareness of their cause and opportunities to support them.

CanTeen's new website uses the Umbraco CMS for management of its wealth of content, presenting that content within a carefully designed information architecture which has been tailored to be intuitive and useful to CanTeen members, potential members, donors, friends and family, as well as potential donors or the wider community.

Particular features of the website worth noting are sections solely for getting involved with the organisation, the ability for community members to submit remembrances of CanTeen members who have lost their struggle with cancer, and a content managed PayPal shop selling the popular bandannas and other CanTeen merchandise year round with very little administration required of the resource-hungry organisation.

Also as part of the project, Terabyte supported CanTeen in venturing into social networks Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo. The Facebook page has been particularly successful due to its relevance to CanTeen's audience and their eagerness to show their support. The Fan page passed the 5,000 fan mark within three months of existence, with passionate fans outpouring their support of the organisation and recommending the fan page to their friends.
