Bridge Connect Africa

Website Redesign Concept & User Experience Improvement

This case study documents a proposed redesign for Bridge Connect Africa. The goal was to explore how the existing website experience could be improved in terms of structure, clarity, and overall usability.


Context

Bridge Connect Africa Website Redesign Preview

Bridge Connect Africa creates impact through community-driven programs. I reviewed their current site and identified areas where the user experience could be improved.

While discussions were ongoing, I independently created a demo to visually communicate these ideas.


Key Findings

  • Text hierarchy made important information hard to scan
  • The navigation bar felt less clear and inconsistent
  • Font sizes were too small for easy reading
  • Layouts were inconsistent across pages
  • Pages like About Us and Contact Us didn’t clearly communicate their purpose
  • Site felt slow, likely due to unoptimized images

Project Objectives

  • Improve clarity and readability across the site
  • Create a more consistent and structured layout
  • Make navigation easier and intuitive
  • Present the organization’s mission clearly
  • Enhance the experience on both desktop and mobile

Process

  • Reviewed the current website structure and content flow
  • Identified gaps and inconsistencies in UX
  • Built a homepage demo using WordPress
  • Focused on spacing, typography, and visual hierarchy
  • Compared the existing site with the redesigned demo

Product Opportunity

For organizations like Bridge Connect Africa, a website is often the first point of contact for partners, donors, and community members. When the experience is unclear or difficult to navigate, important messages can be missed.

This redesign concept focuses on making information easier to find, improving readability, and presenting the organization’s mission more clearly.

Thoughtful improvements in structure and usability can strengthen credibility, trust, and engagement without changing the core message of the organization.
