A charity with a long history — but no digital foundation to match it.
Since 2002, the Jaffna Muslim Association UK has raised funds for communities in northern Sri Lanka. The work was real and long-standing. Its digital presence was not.
We designed and built the organisation’s complete digital platform — identity, website, giving, publishing and infrastructure — at no cost to JMA.
For years, JMA’s work lived largely offline.
The association had been serving communities for over two decades, but everything that could be seen online depended on someone else. There was no home for its history, no way to give online, and no way for the team to publish without a developer.
- No dedicated website
- No online donation platform
- No independent publishing system
- Every update depended on a developer
- No central digital ecosystem
The challenge wasn’t simply to build a website.It was to build the infrastructure around the organisation.
From nothing online to a system that runs itself.

Digital ecosystem.
Giving the organisation a digital identity worthy of its work.
A respectful, confident identity that carries JMA’s heritage into every screen — deep teal for trust, gold for dignity, and a warm off-white that lets the work breathe.
Serving the Jaffna Muslim community
across two nations
For over 20 years, JMA has connected the UK diaspora with families on the ground in Jaffna.
A website built around people, not pages.
Designed mobile-first, the site gives every visitor a clear route through JMA’s story, its campaigns and the difference it makes — with giving never more than a tap away.
The architecture turns a complex organisation into a simple journey.
Every visitor arrives for one of three reasons — to understand JMA, to give, or to take part. The site is organised around exactly those three journeys.

A purpose-built admin dashboard lets the JMA team publish campaigns, news, events and stories themselves — no developer in the loop, no waiting, no cost per update.
Project requests arrive with their own reference numbers, and newsletter subscribers export straight to CSV.
A living website needs a system for staying alive.
Every module feeds the public site. What the team publishes in the dashboard appears on the public site straight away.
Built on a stack that’s easy to keep running.
