Hotfoot appointed to design and develop new Wikimedia UK website

Lancaster based digital agency Hotfoot has been appointed by Wikimedia UK to design and develop its new website.

Wikimedia UK is a national charity that supports and grows the country’s contribution to free knowledge through projects including Wikipedia, and forms part of the global Wikimedia movement.

Hotfoot says the new website project will focus on creating a more accessible, engaging and user-centred digital experience that strengthens participation, supports volunteering and donations, improves accessibility, and better communicates Wikimedia UK's impact and mission.

Belvin Tawuya, head of development and communication at Wikimedia UK, said: "Hotfoot impressed us throughout the process with their clear approach, strong understanding of our requirements, and collaborative way of working.

“We were particularly encouraged by their thoughtful balance of inclusive stakeholder engagement, practical delivery, accessibility, and long-term support."

Hotfoot celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and works with inspiring charities, cultural organisations and public sector organisations in the UK and internationally including St John International, Ordnance Survey, upReach and Hudson Valley Shakespeare.
