Day One

Website, internal portal, and brand identity for a major charitable foundation.

25.03.2020

Goal

Website launch in 2 days and further development of the project.

The charitable foundation ’Day One’ was established in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdown, at the end of March 2020.

The foundation’s founder, Katerina Bosov, approached us with an urgent request: to develop a website and brand identity for the newly launched foundation as quickly as possible.

Our first conversation with the client took place on a Saturday. By the very next day, we had created two brand identity concepts and agreed on one of them.

That same evening, we designed the website — and by Monday, the project was live and open to visitors.

We continued expanding the site by adding new sections and features.

We made design updates and implemented them quickly. We also set up three fully functional language versions: Russian, English, and Chinese.

New tasks from the client came in around the clock.

We set up an on-call duty system to handle tasks promptly, assembling a backup team consisting of a project manager, a designer, and a full-stack developer.

We implemented a responsive version of the Gazprombank acquiring system.

The bank’s IT specialists received the source code, tested it in their environment, and then completed the integration.

We also added an English-language version of the acquiring system for both the English and Chinese versions of the website.

In addition to the public-facing website, we developed a private internal portal for the foundation’s management and founders.

This portal displays detailed statistics on the movement of protective equipment from China: stock levels in both Chinese and Russian warehouses, as well as distribution across donors and hospitals. The portal was built on the Laravel framework, integrated with ’My Warehouse’ system, and features authentication via the client’s corporate Google account.

Thank you.
