CYMG / Website design & development
Making environmental participation easier to navigate.
Website design and development for the Children and Youth Major Group to UNEP. A central place to explain the organization, discover its work and find routes to participate.
The brief
Who it serves
Young people exploring environmental governance, existing members, and organizations looking for CYMG resources and activities.
The problem to solve
A visitor needs to understand what CYMG does before deciding where to get involved. Organizational information, thematic work, regional activity and resources need distinct places without fragmenting the experience.
Design decisions
What shaped the experience.
Give the subject a clear structure.
The navigation separates About CYMG, Thematic Areas, Regions, UNEA, Networks, and News & Resources. Visitors can begin with the organization, a subject or a regional context rather than searching one long page.
Make participation a visible next step.
“Join CYMG” and “Explore our work” give first-time visitors two different routes: take part, or understand the work first. The persistent Join link keeps the participation route easy to find.
Show the people behind the organization.
The opening photograph presents the community alongside a direct statement about future generations and environmental governance. It connects the organization’s role to the people involved.
The delivery
Design meets development
The delivery challenge was to bring several content categories into one responsive website while keeping navigation, content hierarchy and calls to action consistent. The project contribution covers website design and development; the interface is shown here as delivered.
What the project delivered
- A central website for CYMG’s communication and youth engagement work.
- Named routes into thematic areas, regions, networks and resources.
- Visible paths to join CYMG or explore its activities.
