DIY Committee Guide
A practical governance platform designed to make complex guidance easier to understand and navigate.
The opportunity
Turning detailed governance guidance into a resource people can use with confidence.
DIY Committee Guide brings together practical information for charity trustees and management committees. The depth of the resource is valuable, but it creates a clear usability challenge: visitors need to reach the right guidance quickly without already knowing the language or structure of governance.
The site needed an approachable visual system, strong information architecture and flexible content tools that could support principles, topics, downloads and ongoing news.
Strategy
Organise the content around recognisable tasks, questions and governance principles.
Task-focused discovery
Provide direct paths into popular topics so users do not need to understand the entire content hierarchy first.
Scalable resources
Create repeatable content patterns for guidance, resources and news as the library expands.
