The brief
Amber's Legacy is a charity based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. It's named after Amber, and it works to make sure every woman across the North East has access to cervical screening, regardless of age. It was known as Ambers Law for more than six years before taking its current name. Alongside awareness work, it offers information on cervical and other gynaecological cancers, a downloadable booklet, and confidential 1 to 1 support for anyone affected. Its site carries years of news, events, fundraising walks and personal stories from people it's supported.
What we did
We designed first and migrated second. New pages for Amber's Story, Education, Stories, Gallery, News and Events and Contact were built on mock data so the design could be agreed before any CMS work. The home page was trimmed back, with sections removed and the colour softened, so the essentials (the booklet, support, education and news) are easy to reach. Once the designs were signed off, each collection was moved into Directus one at a time: global settings, the home page, contact, Amber's Story, education, education articles, stories, posts, gallery and downloadable documents, plus a new privacy policy page. Content was migrated word for word, images and PDFs were uploaded to the charity's own Directus media library, and every collection was given live preview and visual editor support.
The outcome
Amber's Legacy's site now runs on Next.js and Directus, with nothing left depending on Framer. Every page is CMS backed: global settings, the home page, contact, Amber's Story, education, the education articles, stories, 89 News and Events posts, 84 gallery images, the downloadable leaflets and a new privacy policy page. The charity can edit any of it with live preview and a visual editor, and changes appear on the live site straight away. The design is quieter than before, built to put information and support first.
