Unlocking brighter futures in Latin America.
The LACT Programme is The Karlsson Játiva Charitable Foundation’s commitment to unlocking brighter futures in Latin America.
The programme catalyses support to organisations and communities in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru as they build conditions for children and families to thrive, from stronger protection systems to inclusive, community-led development.
The design and development of a new website for the LACT Programme was part of a wider, 3-site project for The Karlsson Játiva Charitable Foundation (KJCF). Across the Andes, people and organisations are working tirelessly to support children, families and communities in the face of persistent challenges. The programme grants help sustain and grow this work.
Our brief for LACT required a refreshed site design, a bilingual structure, and a clear information architecture for applicants and partners. This project was the most structurally varied of the three builds and the bilingual requirement of the brief included simple switching between languages, mirrored content across language versions and easy editing of translated pages.
Our design approach centred on clarity, usability and confidence — for both the external audiences and the internal LACT team.
Before any visual design began, we used the agreed project brief and content structure to understand what each page needed to communicate, who it was for, and how users should move through the site. This ensured the design supports the programme objectives, rather than simply “looking good”.
We began by creating wireframes for the key page templates, such as the home page, core content pages and any specialist layouts required.
Wireframes were deliberately simple to act as a structural blueprint for the website, showing:
• Page hierarchy and layout
• Content groupings and emphasis
• Navigation and user journeys
• How pages adapt across desktop, tablet and mobile
The end result was an approved site design system for the LACT Programme that:
• Clearly communicates the programme’s purpose and priorities
• Feels professional, modern and accessible
• Integrates smoothly with the wider KJCF web programme
• Facilitates multilingual content population via a Language Switcher plugin
• Supports straightforward content editing and long-term sustainability by the internal team
