Arabic Welfare : Website
17 August 2022
After spending a number of years supporting Arabic Welfare’s existing website (which wasn’t built by Blick) to remain stable and add a few features, it was time for a full redevelopment. Arabic Welfare provides services for newly arrived refugees and well-established migrants from diverse Arabic speaking countries. The brief was to create a website that communicated and engaged with the diversity of the Arabic community. Site users needed to be able to identify with the website, to easily find information and be able to view the website in their language of choice. To achieve this, we ensured the new website includes the option of an English language view and an Arabic language view. The Arabic copy was custom written by the client (not Google Translate!) and, as is customary for Arabic text, runs right to left on the page, rather than left to right as English does. as well as features including donations, referrals, resources and event listings.
