KB Philanthropy-5 is an enterprise based at Mantripukhri, Imphal, in Manipur. It began in 1998 as a sericulture project aimed at reducing rural poverty and now combines skill training, textile manufacturing and support for handloom weavers with an outsourcing unit, Optima BPO Services, and a rooftop restaurant that doubles as a hospitality training facility. Meta Mint designed the website and hosts it jointly with the organisation.
The challenge
This website has to serve people at very different stages. Young people, women and artisans in Manipur come looking for training in a trade they can earn a living from — tailoring, dyeing, weaving or food and beverage service. Others have finished their studies and want to be considered for work. Buyers and partners, meanwhile, want to understand the production capacity that sits behind the training.
Each of these visitors needs to find the relevant trade listed clearly and register for the right thing without first travelling to the campus, and job seekers need a way to send in their biodata.
Our solution
Meta Mint built a site that leads with the trades on offer and turns interest into a registration.
- Accreditation menu of trades. The main navigation lists the trades the organisation offers, from Self Employed Tailor and Hank Dyer to Two Shaft Handloom Weaver and Food & Beverages Service Associate, with detail pages for several of them.
- Student registration. Applicants choose their state and a course such as Warper, Hand Loom Jacquard, Power Loom Weaver, Hand Embroidery or Beauty Therapy.
- Job registration with biodata upload. Job seekers give their gender, state and last qualification and upload a biodata as a JPEG or PDF of up to 2 MB.
- A full picture of the enterprise. The About page sets out the training programmes, the yarn, weaving, dyeing and garment facilities, the product range and the BPO and hospitality units.
- Queries form and galleries. A ‘Submit Your Queries’ form sits beside photo and video galleries and a link to the organisation’s YouTube channel.
How we delivered it
The site is written in PHP and includes a human-readable site map page, a privacy policy and a contact page carrying the Imphal address. Trade pages use readable addresses such as /hank-dyer and /two-shaft-handloom-weaver, and the whole site is delivered over HTTPS.
