Project overview

Howard and the Oceans Harmony crew had a massive mission but a website that just wasn't doing it justice. We dived deep into their story to rebuild their brand from the ground up, creating a "state-of-the-art" site that doesn't just look amazing—it automates their global donations and merchandise.
We turned a static site into a high-impact platform.

The challenge

The old site was basically invisible and didn't show the amazing work they do. They were missing out on donors because the "trust factor" wasn't there, and managing their merch and grants was a manual headache that took way too much time.
Our strategy was to make it so easy to support them that the website basically does the heavy lifting for them.

What we did
(and what we avoided)

  • Full Brand Overhaul

  • Seamless Gelato Sync

  • Smart Donor Integration

  • Mobile-First Design

  • Automated Grant Forms

  • Lazy Website Templates
  • Confusing User Journeys
  • Messy Manual Orders
  • Generic Stock Vibes
  • Clunky Booking Flows

Our focus lies in delivering tangible bottom line outcomes that make a real impact.

  • Deep-Dive Brand Audit
    We tore apart the old site to find what wasn't working and mapped out a strategy to win over new donors.
  • Premium Look & Feel
    We crafted a custom visual identity that finally reflects the authority and heart of a global conservation leader.
  • Automated E-commerce Setup
    We synced their shop with Gelato so they can sell merch worldwide without ever touching a shipping label.
David took the time to truly learn who we are, and that made all the difference. He presented a homepage that left our old site for dead and turned it into a state-of-the-art platform in record time. His attention to detail and clear communication are unmatched. I recommend him without hesitation; he has become a vital part of our organisation.
