What did I create for them?

The CVYP website was mainly aimed at the young people the youth project was created for whilst still being informative and engaging for the sites other visitors. The top stipulation for the site was that it should look good, be interesting for young people and everything should be easy for the CVYP staff to update.

After talking with the CVYP staff I decided to go for a slightly urban, graffiti style for the website that would match the interior of the CVYP building and with lots of images to show the activities organised by the CVYP.

The whole website is updatable through a simple to use admin panel and the image galleries on the activity pages are automatically generated so adding a new image is as simple as uploading it.
