The Great Projects is a worldwide volunteer travel organisation offering more than 35 wildlife conservation and volunteering programmes.
Their existing website was no longer supporting the ambitions of the business. Following a discovery process, we identified technical and user experience challenges that were limiting performance and creating friction for users.
Custom solutions to custom problems

Many businesses reach a point where off-the-shelf software starts creating limitations rather than solving them.
Processes become fragmented, teams work around systems instead of with them, and valuable time is lost to manual tasks, duplicated effort and disconnected platforms.
That’s where bespoke software can make a difference.
We design and develop custom software around the way your business operates, creating solutions that support your processes, your people and your long-term goals.
Our software developers work as part of our in-house team, giving us complete visibility throughout every project and ensuring the solutions we deliver meet the standards we’d expect ourselves.
The right technology should adapt to your business, not force your business to adapt to it.
The Great Projects
The Great Projects is a worldwide volunteer travel organisation offering more than 35 wildlife conservation and volunteering programmes.
Their existing website was no longer supporting the ambitions of the business. Following a discovery process, we identified technical and user experience challenges that were limiting performance and creating friction for users.
We rebuilt the platform, migrated the website into a modern CMS and improved performance across desktop and mobile. Alongside the redevelopment, we resolved content duplication issues, improved site speed and created stronger foundations for future growth.
Today, we continue to support The Great Projects through ongoing development and maintenance, ensuring the platform evolves alongside the organisation.Why choose Stacksmiths for your software development project?
