Development Update · 4 September 2026

Past Phase 5 of 8. Two live views land tomorrow.

Both the public website and the CMS behind it have moved from design into real, working builds. This page is a snapshot of exactly where things stand today, what's been completed, and what you'll be looking at by lunchtime tomorrow.

First view ready tomorrow, by lunchtime Both the website and the CMS will be uploaded for your review, live and clickable, not a mockup.

The Website / 03

Ten pages,
each built its own way.

No repeated template with new text dropped in. Every page gets its own layout, same design system underneath.

01

Home & About

Mission, focus pillars, live event highlight, and the organisation's story, live and pulling from the CMS.

02

Programmes & Services

Overview grids, each item opening its own full page with a Get Involved or Get Started call to action.

03

Events

Upcoming events with live registration, and a creatively laid out blog of past ones below it.

04

Get Involved & Field Notes

Volunteer, partner, and donor paths, plus an ongoing blog of stories from the field.

05

Privacy, Cookies & Terms

Plain-language legal pages, GDPR and Kenya Data Protection Act aligned, live and linked from every form.

06

Design System

Colourful glassmorphism, drifting colour blobs, colour-coded hover glows, and a corner-bracket signature carried on every page.

The CMS / 04

One dashboard,
five logins.

Each role only sees the tools it needs. All five are scaffolded and functional.

Administration Background Image

Administration

User & role management, API/analytics/security settings, one-click website and CMS updates, and a full support ticketing system.

Administration Background Image

Personal Workspace

Every user gets private notes, reminders, a customisable dashboard theme, and direct messaging with the rest of the team.

Administration Background Image

Branded Email

Temp passwords, welcome messages, registration confirmations, and lead notifications, all on-brand. Admin can also send custom emails.

Administration Background Image

Compliance & Security

Cookie consent, encrypted passwords, server-side role enforcement, and an admin activity log. Currently the active phase of work.

Install & Update

A ready-to-install package for standard hosting, with future updates handled the same way, upload a zip from the Admin panel.

Lead Pipeline

Every enquiry flows from the site into the CMS, gets claimed by a team member, tracked to completion, and closed out.





Who Uses It / 05

Five roles,
five jobs.

Every login is scaffolded and permission-tested as of Phase 3. Nobody sees more than their role needs.
