The Association of Child Abuse Lawyers

Membership website development

The Association of Child Abuse Lawyers (ACAL) is a membership organisation representing and providing information to its members, as well as support and guidance to survivors.

Having worked with the team at ACAL for many years we were instructed to redesign and rebuild their website in 2021-22.

This was a complex build requiring the development of an entire, bespoke membership system allowing members to register at different levels depending on their profession to gain access to different databases, events and articles alongside the online community. The system is completely automated and manages auto-renewal and payments annually via direct integration with the payment gateway stripe. The system dynamically checks the status of the payment and marks the member’s profile as public or private taking pressure off the admin staff at ACAL.

The bespoke membership system was built using PHP and Stripe’s payment gateway API to perfectly meet the requirements of the company.

Our designers meanwhile were tasked with working closely with our developers to ensure a seamless user experience no matter whether someone is visiting requiring legal aid or as a member or prospective member. They refreshed the look and feel of the website, keeping it clean and easy to navigate by making greater use of the brand’s colours, while keeping the use of images to a minimum – reflecting the sensitive subject matter.

Our team is experienced in the design and build of membership websites, having also built a bespoke website for the Greater Manchester Youth Federation with a dedicated area for their member clubs as well as the Surrey Developers Forum. If your membership organisation is in need of a website refresh or a complete overhaul our team can help, get in touch to get the ball rolling today.
