A bespoke WordPress website built to help a local charity raise awareness, engage the community, and support vital dementia care across the Isle of Man.
Forget Me Not is an Isle of Man registered charity established in August 2018. Their mission is to improve the support available for people living with dementia and their families across the island. To fund this vital work, they raise money to provide dementia specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, who deliver direct support to those in need.
Synergy Media partnered with Forget Me Not to design and build a website that would clearly communicate their cause, engage the local community, and support their ongoing fundraising efforts.
As a charity dependent on donations and community support, Forget Me Not needed a website that could do more than simply exist online. Their site needed to:
Given their charitable status, budget was a key consideration from the outset. Recognising the value of their work in the Isle of Man community, Synergy Media designed and built the website for Forget Me Not free of charge, with only a small ongoing monthly fee to cover hosting and maintenance.
We approached this project the same way we do every Isle of Man web design project: through discovery, planning, and close collaboration with the client. Understanding Forget Me Not’s mission and audience was essential to building a site that would genuinely support their fundraising goals.
Our strategy focused on:
Every decision we made was guided by the needs of Forget Me Not’s audience, families seeking support, and members of the public considering a donation. We prioritised:
The visual design reflects Forget Me Not’s identity as a warm, trustworthy, community-focused charity. Rather than relying on generic templates, we built a bespoke design from the ground up, one that reflects their branding and speaks directly to the Isle of Man community they serve.
Every page was designed with clarity and compassion in mind, striking a balance between professionalism and approachability, essential for a charity operating in such a sensitive space.
Using our expertise in custom WordPress web design, we built Forget Me Not’s website on a platform that’s flexible, reliable, and easy for their team to manage independently. This gives the charity full control over updating content, news, and fundraising campaigns without relying on ongoing developer support for routine changes.
We also ensured the site was fully responsive, delivering a consistent, seamless experience whether visitors are browsing on a desktop at home or a smartphone on the go.
To help Forget Me Not reach more people across the Isle of Man, we built strong SEO foundations into the site from day one. This included:
These foundations improved the charity’s organic visibility, helping more Isle of Man residents discover their services and fundraising efforts through search.
The finished website delivers meaningful improvements across the board:
The new website gives Forget Me Not a genuine digital asset, one that supports their mission rather than sitting quietly in the background. With improved engagement, stronger local search rankings, and a clear pathway for donations and enquiries, the charity now has a website that works as hard as their team does.
And because Synergy Media built the site free of charge, with only a modest ongoing hosting and maintenance fee, Forget Me Not can direct more of their resources towards what matters most: supporting people living with dementia across the Isle of Man.
