“Support Ukraine” is a website developed to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. The website provides information about the Russian large-scale invasion of Ukraine and offers opportunities for support and assistance to Ukrainians in countries like Germany (Munich) and Estonia.

Overview

1Initial Situation

We faced the challenge of creating an information portal for individuals in need of support, as well as for people and organizations ready to offer that help. A website equipped with the latest news, verified and reliable data, and facts.

2Our Approach

For this task, we chose the popular Content Management System WordPress. We developed a creative web design featuring animations and voiceovers to enhance the user experience. Most of the information on the website was analyzed from various news sites, making the resource relevant and up-to-date.

Procedure

1
Task
The primary goal of the website was to provide up-to-date information about the situation in Ukraine for Ukrainian refugees in Europe. Additionally, it aimed to offer sources and links to where and what kind of assistance they can receive.
Solution
Our team developed an information portal with current and relevant data, where not all information needs to be entered manually. Instead, actual information is analyzed from verified websites.
2
Task
The website should fulfill two functions. On the one hand, information for refugees and, on the other, general information for other visitors who know little about Ukraine.
Solution
A bright and innovative design will help visitors who are unfamiliar with the key areas and attractions of Ukraine learn more about them. Short Stories: Highlighting the Peaks of This Bold Nation.

Task
We faced the challenge of designing a national website portal that is both vibrant and emotionally engaging. On one hand, the solution needed to be technologically advanced, and on the other, it had to evoke bright emotions through its visual messages.
Solution
Our studio analyzed all the website portals presented in this niche and offered the best solution for implementing the website. The website is vibrant, creative, and functional.

Design Creation

Author and innovative work of our design team. The idea was to showcase the peaceful and flourishing image of Ukraine before the war reached its territory, highlighting the contrast between what the aggressor has destroyed and what has been lost. The most significant architectural monuments for which Ukraine was known were to be shown, along with what has happened to them now.

Interactive Map:

The interactive map developed for this website was the brainchild of our web studio. Our designers have mapped all the sights and monuments of Ukraine, while the layout designers have created an interactive, responsive website.
We sought every bit of inspiration we could find to present our vision. Some drawings were adapted from photos and edited by us, while others were created from scratch.

Clicking on any object will display a description of that particular item. A special slider allows you to view before and after photos. By moving the cursor, you can see the difference between the state before and after the war. The website features current photos showing what is happening to each architectural object now, highlighting the extent of destruction or damage since the war began.
As we scrolled through the website, we created animations and displayed drawings showing how the destruction from explosions appears on the map. Our top designers and illustrators worked on this idea, and the selected soundtrack complements and illustrates this image.

Illustrations

The illustrators and designers of our web studio were incredibly creative in designing the portal page. We hand-drew each illustration on a tablet and then converted them into digital form. The main goal was to maintain the overall style of all objects while ensuring they are instantly recognizable as icons.

Icons and Pictograms

Icons and pictograms play a crucial role on this website. They are drawn in a minimalist style, yet instantly recognizable, making it clear what object they represent in Ukrainian. Clicking on them provides a description of the respective location.

People visit this website for various reasons. Some are looking for help and information on where they can get it. Others, both individuals and organizations, offer their assistance and want those in need to know about it. We have organized the information for different types of visitors; the bright buttons in the top corner of the screen catch the eye and invite selection.

Stories:

These are stories told by people about the war in Ukraine. All the stories published on the website have been collected by us from real people who report events that happened to them personally. Every story on this website is unique, but they all share a common issue - the war. The content is collected by our team and edited by the editors at Web Studio NoLorem.

Receiving and Providing Help

Segmenting the requests was one of the most important tasks we set for ourselves. When creating this website, our team considered that it could be directed at different people - those who can help and those who need help. Therefore, we treated each request separately. We introduced a feature that offers assistance in different countries.

Our programmers created a template for a typical country assistance page, an article page template, and much more to facilitate and support the work of filling the site. The simplicity of updating with current information allows the website administrator to easily refresh the necessary details.

Web Design

Our designers considered the principles of user-friendliness when developing the news page. We focused on the usability of the site, studied top news and magazine sites, and selected the best solution for our purposes. The vivid imagery underscores the emotions we feel when thinking about war, and the highlights on the website offer real help to refugees.

Web Development

Our development team consists of experts specializing in the WordPress CMS. Our developers master all the tools of this platform and understand the intricacies of setting up all common plugins and modules suitable for working with WordPress CMS. So we can create outstanding websites with certainty.
A well-thought-out strategy for optimizing the website, starting from the design phase, including aspects like page load speed and search engine optimization, is part of our company's core offering and allows us to achieve impressive results.

Our designers have considered all options for implementing the website across all common devices and browsers. The website emerged bright and filled with information.

Technical Support

The initial content for the website was provided by the content manager and copywriter from NoLorem. Thanks to the optimally chosen WordPress CMS, the website is easy to populate and the admin panel is user-friendly. It does not require constant support from our company, as the client can modify all content on the website and expand its structure independently, without needing technical experts.
After creating the website, we don't leave our clients in the lurch. Our web studio strives to maintain close contact with our clients. We offer support and consultation whenever needed and continue to collaborate on the website in the future. We are confident in our work, and if any errors occur due to our fault, we will correct them completely free of charge.

Conclusion
Our designers showcased an excellent way to display sectors and transitions. Typically, news portals hide navigation tools when displaying content. With this interface, the menu is always visible, making navigation significantly easier for the user and keeping the product clear and organized.
