Case Study: Learn for Life Enterprise helps newcomers to Sheffield with an accessible multilingual website from Hive IT

Learn for Life Enterprise launches multilingual site in 100+ languages with Hive IT

Learn for Life Enterprise, a provider of ESOL classes and a community hub for newcomers to Sheffield, faced a challenge with its inherited "Asylum Journey" website. The content was overwhelming and difficult to navigate, geared towards support workers rather than the individuals it was meant to help, preventing users from finding critical information independently. They partnered with Hive IT for a comprehensive website redesign and development project to create a user-friendly, accessible resource.

Hive IT rebuilt the platform from the ground up using Webflow, creating the "New to Sheffield" website. The solution was co-created with real users and featured a clear structure, an integrated search function, and a translation tool for over 100 languages. Key accessibility features included full screen reader support and a "Quick Exit" button. The result was a simpler, clearer, and easier-to-use site that allows newcomers to find the information they need confidently and on their own, significantly improving their ability to access vital services.
