Website case study · Charity

A public swarm-information resource for Malton & District Beekeepers.

People who discover a swarm may be uncertain, concerned or in a hurry. This seven-page resource helps them identify honey bees, understand what to do and contact a local volunteer collector.

The public need

Give the right advice at the moment it is needed.

A visitor may not know whether the insects are honey bees, another species or whether a collector can help. The content has to guide that decision calmly and accurately before presenting the relevant contact route.

The site divides the subject into focused pages rather than presenting one overwhelming wall of information. This also gives individual search questions a more relevant destination.

Important decisions

  • Explain swarm identification clearly
  • Separate urgent actions from background detail
  • Make phone use straightforward outdoors
  • Show the charity and service area accurately
  • Provide clear routes to volunteer help

The approach

Seven focused pages with one clear public purpose.

The structure follows the questions a member of the public is likely to ask.

Question-led content

Pages answer recognisable needs instead of mirroring the association’s internal structure.

Mobile clarity

Short sections and prominent actions work for someone viewing the site near a swarm.

Local relevance

Place and service information help nearby searchers reach an appropriate resource.

Charity credibility

Measured language and clear responsibility support trust without commercial pressure.
