Soaring to New Heights with The Hawk Conservancy Trust

When The Hawk Conservancy Trust approached our digital marketing team at CuCo Creative, they weren’t just looking for a website makeover—they wanted a digital habitat that captured the magic of their world. Fuelled by a vision as far-reaching as a hawk’s keen gaze, we set out to create a site as dynamic and engaging as the creatures it represents.

About The Hawk Conservancy Trust

The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a dedicated charity committed to the protection, education and conservation of birds of prey. Through live flight demonstrations, interactive exhibits and various educational programs, they inspire a deep appreciation for these magnificent birds while advocating for their ongoing preservation. Their commitment to wildlife and community education shines through every aspect of their work, making them a faithful guardian of the natural world. 

The Challenge: Bringing New Life to a Digital Nest

The conservancy needed a modern, user-friendly website that showcased their bird conservation work and told a compelling story. Their previous site, while informative, didn’t fully reflect the beauty and energy of their mission. Our goal was to transform it into a vibrant online hub that: 

• Celebrated Nature: Embraced stunning visuals and nature-inspired design elements.

• Empowered the Team: Offered an intuitive, bespoke content management system so staff could easily update content wherever they are.

• Engaged the Audience: Provided a seamless experience across devices—from desktops to iPads and iPhones.

Our Approach: Designing a Home as Great as the Skies 

We kicked off the project by immersing ourselves in the conservancy’s world. Working closely with the trust’s team helped us understand their passion for conservation and the nuances of their daily operations. Here’s how we took flight: 

• Deep Dive into the Brand: We immersed ourselves in the Hawk Conservancy’s brand, exploring its rich heritage, core values and commitment to wildlife education. By examining their outreach materials and the passion that drives their work, we captured an essence that beautifully marries fun, education and genuine care for the natural world.

• Striking Visuals & Intuitive Layout: Inspired by the conservancy’s rich imagery and mission, we selected a clean, modern design with nature-inspired colours, greens and oranges, and bold but easily readable typography.

• Bespoke Content Management System: We built a custom CMS that makes updating text, images and multimedia content easy. This empowers the staff to keep the site as lively and current as their ongoing projects.

• Responsive & Accessible: In today’s fast-paced world, users need quick, reliable access on any device. Our responsive design ensures that the website's beauty and functionality remain intact whether someone is exploring on a smartphone or a tablet. Additionally, we made accessibility a core focus by incorporating clear typography, ample white space and high-contrast elements to enhance readability. Intuitive navigation and properly labelled interactive features further ensure that all users—including those with visual or motor impairments—enjoy a seamless, inclusive digital experience.

The Impact: A Digital Roost That Reflects True Spirit

Since the redesign, the new website has become more than just a digital space—it’s a vibrant showcase of The Hawk Conservancy Trust’s work. The modern look and intuitive navigation have increased visitor engagement, inviting the public to learn more about conservation efforts. The new CMS allows the conservancy’s team to manage content effortlessly, keeping the community informed and inspired. Every design element captures The Hawk Conservancy's playful yet purposeful character, resonating with longtime supporters and new visitors.
