About the project.

The Nigeria Youth Futures Fund (NYFF) backs youth-led movements across Nigeria with technical and financial support. Grants, the Youth Leadership Development Programme, national visioning working groups and online advocacy all run through it.

Young Nigerians come to apply, learn and stay connected. BeeTcore designed and built the main site and the community hub that sits beside it, and still looks after both.

Building something with the same shape?

Challenge.

Grant calls bring sharp spikes, with more than 10,000 visits on a single day. Applicants need to find the right grant, check if they qualify and apply before the deadline, without wading through reports and press releases to get there.

The fund also needed a place for grantees and young leaders after the grant: somewhere to learn, share progress and find each other. A newsletter could not do that.

Our process.

UI/UX design

All 20 pages designed from the NYFF brand: deep blue, teal and warm orange, bold organic shapes and arch-framed photos that put young Nigerians at the centre. Each programme gets its own page pattern, so Grants, YLDP, National Visioning and Online and Media Engagement read as one family. Designed to usability heuristics and WCAG 2.1 guidance.

Main site

Built on WordPress. Grants sit one click from the home page, with a live deadline countdown, eligibility guidelines and application pages for each fund. Reports, grantee lists and opinion pieces are published as posts the team adds themselves. About, What We Do, Reach, Testimonials, Success Stories, Resources and Events complete the 20 pages. Built to the OWASP Top 10 for security and tested on mobile, tablet and desktop.

Community hub

A members’ platform on its own subdomain. Young leaders sign up, build a profile and join the news feed, forums and member directory. Leadership courses and resources sit in the same login, and a grantee directory with its own dashboard showcases the movements the fund has backed. Reporting and blocking tools keep the space safe.

SEO and maintenance

Page titles and descriptions written around the searches young Nigerians make for grants and leadership programmes. Updates, backups and security monitoring run under BeeTcare, BeeTcore’s ongoing care plan.
