Khalili Foundation

Introduction

For over three decades, the Khalili Foundation has been a global leader in fostering intercultural relations through art, culture, and education. The Foundation collaborates with prestigious organisations, including UNESCO, the Commonwealth, the University of Oxford, and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), to support initiatives such as Cultural Philanthropy, Global Partnerships, and the Maimonides Interfaith Initiative. Beyond its core projects, the Foundation also facilitates anonymous donations and charitable collaborations worldwide.

Recognising the importance of an engaging and accessible online presence, the Khalili Foundation partnered with us to refresh and enhance their website. Our goal was to modernise the site, improve its usability, and better showcase the Foundation’s impactful work.

Objective

The primary objective of the project was to develop a bespoke, modern website that reflects the Khalili Foundation’s mission and values. Key areas of focus included:

• Refreshing the Website Design: Updating the user interface and user experience (UI/UX) to create a visually appealing and intuitive platform.
• Implementing a Modern Off-Canvas Menu: Improving navigation for seamless access to content across devices.
• Revamping the Homepage Layout: Introducing a clean and dynamic layout to highlight the Foundation’s initiatives and partnerships.
• Content Update and Restructure: Organising and presenting content more effectively to engage a wider audience.
• Optimising Website Performance: Enhancing load times and functionality to provide a smooth user experience.

Execution

1. Website Design Refresh

We revamped the overall design with a focus on clean, modern aesthetics. A minimalist approach was employed to ensure the Foundation’s message and work took centre stage. Key design features include:

• A new colour palette inspired by the Foundation’s intercultural ethos.
• Improved typography for readability and accessibility.
• High-resolution imagery to showcase the Foundation’s projects and collaborations.

2. Enhanced Navigation with an Off-Canvas Menu

The implementation of an off-canvas menu significantly improved navigation across the site. This modern feature ensures a streamlined user journey on both desktop and mobile devices, making it easier for visitors to explore the Foundation’s initiatives.

3. Updated Homepage Layout

The homepage was restructured to provide a snapshot of the Foundation’s work. Key elements include:

• A prominent banner highlighting the Foundation’s mission.
• Featured sections for each initiative, complemented by call-to-action buttons for further engagement.
• Dynamic content blocks for the latest news and updates.

4. Content Restructure

The website’s content was reorganised to improve readability and discoverability. Information about the Foundation’s initiatives, partnerships, and philanthropic work was categorised and displayed with intuitive navigation links.

5. Performance Optimisation

We conducted a full performance audit and implemented solutions to optimise website speed and functionality. Measures included:

• Image compression and lazy loading to reduce page load times.
• Upgraded hosting infrastructure to handle increased traffic efficiently.
• Code minimisation and caching strategies for improved responsiveness.

Results

• Modern Design: The website now features a contemporary design that aligns with the Khalili Foundation’s vision and values.
• Improved Navigation: The off-canvas menu enhances user experience by providing effortless access to content.
• Enhanced Homepage: The updated layout effectively showcases the Foundation’s initiatives and achievements.
• Streamlined Content: The restructured content improves engagement and ensures key information is easily accessible.
• Faster Performance: Optimisations have significantly reduced load times, enhancing the user experience.

Conclusion

The Khalili Foundation’s refreshed website now serves as a digital platform that reflects its role as a global leader in promoting intercultural relations. The modern design, enhanced navigation, and optimised performance offer a seamless experience for users, while the updated content structure ensures that the Foundation’s impactful work is effectively highlighted.

As the Foundation continues its vital mission, the new website provides a strong foundation to engage audiences worldwide. Our team remains committed to supporting the Khalili Foundation in its journey to bring people together through the power of art, culture, and education.
