Rotary Club of Ahmedabad Sarvam with Khichdi One Network

In 2024, Rotary Club of Ahmedabad Sarvam decided to revamp its online presence to better reflect its work, enhance engagement with its members, and increase awareness of its ongoing projects. After considering several options, the club selected Khichdi One Network to develop, manage, and maintain its website, www.rotarysarvam.org, aiming for a modern, user-friendly, and impactful online platform that would help strengthen its communication with the public and potential donors.

The Challenge

Rotary Club of Ahmedabad Sarvam faced several challenges with its existing website, including:

• Outdated Design: The club’s previous website had an outdated design that did not align with modern web standards. It lacked visual appeal and did not effectively engage visitors.
• Poor User Experience: Navigation was difficult, and visitors found it challenging to find relevant information, such as ongoing projects, events, and opportunities to contribute or get involved.
• Limited Functionality: The website lacked interactive features such as event registration, donation options, and member login functionalities.
• Brand Representation: The website did not reflect the club’s core values, mission, or the impact of its community projects in a way that resonated with its target audience.
• Mobile Optimization: The website was not optimized for mobile devices, which significantly impacted its accessibility for people using smartphones and tablets.

Our Approach

Upon being selected by Rotary Club of Ahmedabad Sarvam, Khichdi One Network worked closely with the club’s leadership to understand their needs and goals for the website. We proposed a comprehensive website overhaul that would address the issues they were facing while enhancing their online visibility and engagement.

Website Development Process

   • The design included vibrant colors, impactful imagery, and a clear, organized layout to make the website visually appealing and user-friendly.
2. Content Strategy & SEO:
   • A strong content strategy was developed to highlight the club’s mission, ongoing projects, success stories, and impact on the community.
   • SEO was prioritized to ensure that the website would appear in search results for relevant keywords such as “Rotary Club Ahmedabad,” “community service,” “donate to charity in Ahmedabad,” etc. This was aimed at increasing organic traffic and improving the club’s visibility online.
3. Interactive Features:
   • Event Registration: A user-friendly event registration system was integrated, allowing visitors to easily sign up for upcoming events, community service activities, and fundraisers.
   • Donation Integration: We implemented a secure and convenient online donation system that allowed individuals to contribute to various projects and initiatives directly through the website.

   • Blog Section: A blog was added to the website to keep the community updated on Rotary Club activities, spotlighting volunteer opportunities, social causes, and recent projects.
4. Mobile Optimization:
   • The website was designed to be fully responsive, ensuring it provided a seamless experience across all devices—desktops, tablets, and mobile phones—making it accessible to a larger audience.
5. Engagement with Social Media:
   • Social media integration was implemented, allowing visitors to easily connect with the club on various platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The website’s content was also made easily shareable to increase engagement and awareness.
