Delivered by AISYS founder Muhammad Maavia before AISYS was founded in May 2026. Shown as an example of our founders' work, not AISYS client history.

The product

What it is

Zarina Shamim Trust funds scholarships and runs a computer center for girls in Lahore. Its website has to serve three very different visitors at once.

Families look for eligibility and how to apply. Donors look for evidence and a simple way to give. The trust itself wants its mission and news seen. The earlier site held the right material, but visitors had to hunt for it. AISYS founder Muhammad Maavia redesigned it as sole designer in 2025, before AISYS was founded in May 2026.

The challenge

Good content. Hard to find.

A website for a charity must earn trust quickly. The task was to organise everything around what each visitor came to do, lead with the real girls the trust supports, and keep the route to donating short on every page.

The Scope

What the work covered

  • A nine-page site organised around three visitor groups
  • A design system drawn from the trust's own lotus logo
  • Hero options explored in six directions
  • A consistent call to action closing every page
  • A donation page that walks through each way to give
The Process

From Goals to System

01

Clarify

Three aims were set: a clearer interface, a modern look, and the mission placed first.

02

Organise

The nine pages were grouped by intent: learn about the trust, explore the programs, and take action.

03

Explore

The home page hero was tested in six layouts, from split screens to full-bleed photography, before the final approach was chosen.

04

Systemise

A five-colour palette taken from the logo, paired with a serif and a clean sans, was built into reusable components.

Key design decisions

Choices That Build Trust

Proof at a Glance

Headline achievements, such as the trust's 900 scholarships, sit in large numerals where visitors decide whether to stay.

Stories With Faces

Success stories are photographic cards that open as short videos, putting a scholar behind every statistic.

Giving Stays Close

Every page ends on the same invitation to support, and the donation page explains each option in order.

Outcome

A calmer site. Live today.

The redesigned website is live at zarinashamimfoundation.org. It gives families, donors and scholars a clear way through the trust's programs, stories and ways to give.
