The Foundation for Autism Research and Education does work that has to be understood before it can be supported — research, awareness, education programmes, public events. The website's job is to make that work legible first, then make supporting it easy enough that intent doesn't pass before it converts.
A design built to be read
We worked on the site as a piece of editorial as much as a fundraising surface. Clean typography sets the pace — generous line-heights, careful hierarchy, headings that earn their weight — and the layouts make room for substance: programme write-ups, research notes, event recaps, profiles of the people doing the work. The reader can spend time on the foundation before they're asked to support it, which is the order in which support is actually earned.
Built around how donors here pay
We integrated SSLCommerz, a Bangladesh-based gateway that handles the full local payment landscape — cards, mobile financial services and bank options — on a single rail. For a cause that's gathering support inside the country, that breadth without a stack of integrations mattered.
Momentum a supporter can see
Donations on FARE's page are tallied in real time and surfaced as a live counter the next visitor can see. The point isn't a vanity figure — it's social proof. A donor weighing a small contribution behaves differently when they can see other supporters are doing the same thing right now.
What else we built
Programs, events and donor updates sit on a CMS the team owns — short forms, predictable structure, instant publish — so the campaigns running alongside the donation page never go stale.
Where it sits today
Donors give through a flow that fits the way they pay. Confirmations land in real time. The team's hours go to programs and supporter relationships.
