H2H — Hand 2 Hand

01 — The brief

H2H — Hand 2 Hand — is a Norwegian charity that has supported children and families since 2000. Their old site was a single static page that couldn't take donations, surface sponsor partners, or capture newsletter sign-ups. We rebuilt the entire experience from scratch on a pro bono basis, donating the studio's first engagement to a mission we believe in.

02 — The approach

1. 01

   Donation as the primary action, not a footer link

   The old site buried a Vipps QR code at the bottom. The rebuild promotes a Stripe + Vipps donation flow as the second visible CTA on every page, with preset amounts and a one-tap recurring option for Norwegian supporters.

2. 02

   A real sponsor showcase

   Corporate and private sponsors now have their own indexed section with logos, links, and short context lines — turning the page from a thank-you wall into something sponsors can point at internally.

3. 03

   A newsletter that respects the audience

   Mailing-list sign-ups go through a double-opt-in flow with a clear privacy notice. The form lives both in the footer and as a soft prompt after a donation completes.

4. 04

   Editorial calm over charity-cliché

   We deliberately avoided stock photography and breathless copy. The design uses the same monochrome ink-on-light language as the studio site, so the work reads as serious and modern without leaning on emotional manipulation.
