Silver Cord Charity
"Could not be more thankful for the kindness, creativity and patience of the team at Church Pages.
They worked really closely with us throughout the process and we absolutely love our site - it has really captured who we are. It's wonderful to be able to point our referral agencies, church partners and clients to such a high quality website for the ministry.
Thank you so much!"
Debs Peyton (CEO of Silver Cord)
Silver Cord is a Christian charity that came out of a love for older people, and a desire to see them cherished by society. The charity has a vision to see "intergenerational communities in which all ages feel equally welcomed, valued and recognised for their unique contributions', and believe that this is best facilitated through the local church.
How the website was designed and built
Silver Cord did not have a website, but Debs Peyton (formally Fidler) did have a logo that she had felt inspired to create at the beginning of the Charity's journey. and a domain. We used her logo as the starting point of the design, and by listening to Deb's heart we were able to design a website that reflected the strong ethos and values that she holds regarding older people.
Debs was happy to be guided on what type of images she needed to reflect what the charity was trying to achieve, and she was also able to provide copy for the site. We worked closely with Debs to make sure that the website told Silver Cord's story, and took time to understand the befriending process as well as how churches could play their role.
Silver Cord chose the Isaiah Template for its site because of its versatility. We chose bright and engaging colours that complemented the silver and blue of the logo, and used a Google font that we thought worked well for the demographic.
The finished website benefits from the following:
- A strongly designed home page that has clear navigation.
- A clear sense of identity that has longevity designed into it.
- Clear calls to action for those wishing to access the service.
- Easy to use content manager that means Debs and her team can keep the site current and relevant/
Conclusion
The Church Pages team were very pleased to be able to assist Silver Cord and trust that the charity will be able to respond to the loneliness so prevalent amongst the older generation.
