Nelson Mandela Foundation
Overhauling the Nelson Mandela website, repositioning it as a premier repository for all news related to Nelson Mandela while establishing its identity as a reliable source for scholars, educators, and youth seeking news and events.
Homepage, Menu and News Entry Points
The Nelson Mandela Foundation website needed to become a stronger repository for news, events, and educational material connected to Nelson Mandela's legacy.
The redesign introduced refreshed colours, typography, a stronger header slider, expanded navigation, and clearer routes into featured news.
News, Donation and Featured Sections
The platform had to support civic engagement as well as archive discovery, so news, donations, and featured institutional sections needed prominent placement.
Analytics informed page and content improvements, including the identification of drop-off areas and the redesign of key routes into high-value content.
Categories, Multimedia and Education
The foundation serves scholars, educators, youth audiences, and public visitors, so content categories needed to feel browsable and reliable.
Work included mobile optimisation of the Nelson Mandela Timeline, live streaming support for major events, video vox pops for Mandela Day, and video-led header sections for faster engagement.
Product strategy, design systems, enterprise UX, and clear digital product delivery.
