The client

The Network of Pro bono lawyers Also Known as the Pro-Law Foundation is a non-Governmental Organisation that promotes the rule of law and respect for human rights, by creating a platform for lawyers and legal aid providers to enhance their capacity, rejuvenate the spirit of common humanity, and improve the rights of women, children, minority groups, and other disadvantaged or marginalized groups in Nigeria. The network is engaging with the government, especially in relation to the promotion of civil and political rights and social-economic rights but most especially the freedom of information and the expression which we believe are the gateway rights to accessing other fundamental human rights. Over the years, the network has trained thousands of lawyers and paralegals who are providing legal advice and representing the most disadvantaged groups in Nigeria. The Network has branches in Lagos, Kano, and Abia and is headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria.

The challenge

Netprolaw partnered with Oniontabs with a request to help position themselves as a credible NGO doing good for humanity. In addition, they wanted to expand and simplify the process in which people can report cases to them. Overall, they are looking to build a strong online presence beyond social media so they can easily talk about what they do and how they are contributing their quarter to promoting the rule of law and respect for human rights.

The solution

We researched, strategized, and designed the new Netprolaw Website, supported by a custom blog CMS and Admin Dashboard.

Website User Interface (UI)

The colours used for the website are picked from the brand's logo. They are used in reduced contrast to be subtle on the eye and the best fit for digital. Colour is also used to communicate the sections and features of the site that require visitors' attention and response- report a case and partnership.

Generally, the UI is simple, modern, and easy to navigate. The buttons are consistent, typography is legible with calm colour. The forms on the site are basic and have examples or descriptions of the required information.

Build with simplified functionality

The key feature of the website is the Case Request Form, we made it simple and elegant for taking requests for Bono cases. The form is designed in such a way that it is easy to fill and submit, a form field required is not more than 5/6.

A request for a partnership form is made to get the contact of the person(s) or organization(s) who want to partner with the client. The form is made simple and brief as only the contact details of the partner are taken.

A costume Blog is built which allows the organization to share articles, news, and events. This is also structured and indexed in a way to help the website with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for maximum reach organically.

The admin dashboard is also designed and developed to allow managing cases and partnership requests.

The Results

After two months of collaboration, we successfully launched the new Netprolaw website integrated into a custom-built CMS. We’re proud to be part of Netprolaw’s journey of promoting the rule of law and respect for human rights and creating a platform for lawyers and legal aid providers to provide help to the disadvantaged and marginalized groups in Nigeria.
