About

Human•Kind Design is led by Louise Rankin — a WordPress developer with deep roots in digital strategy and web design.

After years working alongside social enterprises, climate organisations, membership networks and civic institutions, Louise brings clarity, care and technical rigour to every project. From content‑rich archives to complex membership platforms, you don’t get agency gloss — just smart, human‑focused websites that do what they’re meant to do: support your work, not get in the way of it.

Most projects involve close collaboration with small internal teams, boards or committees, making sure decisions feel understood, not imposed.

How We Work

Listen & Learn

Every project starts with listening. We get to know your organisation, your audiences, and your stakeholders — and what success looks like — so we can build solutions rooted in real needs, not assumptions.

Explore & Shape

Together, we turn ideas into a clear plan through thoughtful design, structured content, and smart technical choices. We focus on clarity, usability, and long-term value, so it’s easier to bring your team or board with you.

Create & Build

We bring ideas to life with careful, considered execution. Whether it’s a website, a platform, or a piece of content, we craft with precision, and purpose.

Support & Evolve

Our work doesn’t end at launch. We offer guidance, maintenance, and iteration helping you adapt, improve, and stay confident in your digital presence.

Trusted by good people, doing good work.

We work with social enterprises, charities, and values-led organisations who care about making a meaningful impact — not just turning a profit. From climate communications labs and refugee support charities to membership networks and civic institutions, our clients trust us to deliver websites that reflect their work with integrity, clarity, and care.

Whether it’s helping landowners navigate renewable energy, strengthening community platforms for LGBTQ+ professionals, or supporting archives and societies that protect a city’s memory, we’re proud to play a small part in work that matters.
