Dimensions – Family of ThirdPress websites for a charity and its sub-brands
2024 – ongoing
Dimensions supports autistic people and people with learning disabilities, behaviours of distress, or complex health needs.
We worked with Dimensions to create a family of ThirdPress websites, piloting the approach on two microsites before rebuilding their main site on the platform.
Starting with two microsites
Dimensions first approached us to help them create dedicated websites for their Autism Friendly initiative and their Learning Disability and Autism Leaders’ Awards. As we started to establish their requirements it became clear that both were a good fit for ThirdPress, our service that we created as a way to help organisations with modest budgets or simpler requirements to get a site off the ground more efficiently.
We worked with Dimensions to develop the structure and page layouts that supported their key user journeys, then combined the pre-built events and news content types with the site-wide topic tags to list award winners and autism-friendly screenings at accredited venues.
Following a shift in campaign priorities in October 2026, the Autism Friendly site was decommissioned.
Scaling to the whole organisation
After a positive experience and strong feedback on the microsites, Dimensions decided to rebuild their main website on ThirdPress too. With substantially more content, and following Dimensions’ new brand, the main website project required more support upfront to establish the right site structure and page layouts. We also worked closely with the Dimensions team to translate the new brand as fully as possible, and developed a sustainable approach to imagery that makes the most of their new assets.
Rather than having to go through an extensive wireframing process, using ThirdPress allowed us to start by building a staging site so we could experiment with structure and page layouts straight away, allowing us to populate content and test out user journeys as we went along. Dimensions’ familiarity also helped to speed up the rest of the content population.
A fourth microsite
A further microsite for Discovery – the social enterprise that supports autistic people and people with learning disabilities in Somerset and Cornwall – followed soon after the main website launch. This included some additional design support to help align Discovery’s logo and colours with the wider Dimensions brand family.
A unified family of websites
We provided additional design support to ensure that all four websites were visually coherent. This involved clarifying the relationship between the core visual identity and sub-brands, unifying the typography and taking a more consistent approach to colour.
Running the sites on one platform has made management and publishing more efficient, as editors only need to learn one system. The websites are also managed through a WordPress multisite installation, which enables users to log into each site with a single centrally-maintained user account.
Working with Simon, Darren, and Adrian to transform our websites has been a fantastic experience. Their professionalism, technical expertise, and collaborative approach ensured every challenge was met with creative solutions, and they consistently showed a desire to innovate. They delivered real value for money and demonstrated a strong commitment to accessibility, making the entire process smooth and inclusive.
