The Ecology Center, in San Juan Capistrano, is a regional hub for eco-education that engages and empowers individuals and families to live more sustainably, every day. The organization focuses its work in five verticals – Energy, Water, Food, Waste, and Shelter.
Zago has partnered with The Ecology Center supporting the re-design of their website making sure that the visual and written communication served the goals of the brand through engaging experiences. By first taking an inventory of all programs, services and products The Ecology Center offered, then editing their content into four initiatives; Eat, Water, Make and Grow.
We developed a modular system within these four initiatives, this modular system allowed us to showcase their beautiful photography and extended to pages like events and shop. Creating easy to use templates so The Ecology Center can use a flexible system as they continue to grow. This gives users a better understanding and feeling of living an ecological lifestyle. Not just a transactional website but a lifestyle website where users would want to stay to browse and really embrace an healthy sustainable lifestyle.
