Project Overview
FoogleTech designed and developed Snowman — a charity nomination and community engagement web platform. Users nominate causes they care about through a simplified form, personalise an interactive snowman representing their nomination, and share it to Facebook and Twitter to amplify the cause. Administrators manage nominations through a dashboard with filtering, sorting, and CSV export.
The Engineering Challenge
- Traditional charity platforms suffer from high drop-off rates because the giving process feels transactional — Snowman needed a nomination mechanic that was engaging and encouraged completion through delight rather than duty.
- Social sharing of charitable causes requires compelling shareable content — a plain text link gets ignored. The platform needed a unique shareable asset users would actually want to post.
- Simplicity was a core constraint — the nomination form had to capture only essential information with the minimum number of fields to prevent form fatigue.
- Charity administrators needed tools to manage nominations, filter and sort by cause, and export data to CSV without requiring technical knowledge.
Our Solution
- FoogleTech designed the nomination experience around the interactive snowman builder — after a minimal form, users are rewarded with a personalised snowman they can customise with text, colours, and accessories, transforming a form submission into a shareable creative moment.
- The customised snowman renders as a shareable social asset optimised for Facebook and Twitter cards — when users share, their social network sees a visually engaging personalised image tied to the nominated charity.
- Form design was deliberately minimal — only essential fields required, with progressive disclosure for optional enrichment — ensuring high completion rates.
- An admin dashboard was built with nomination listing, filtering by charity and date, sorting capabilities, and one-click CSV export.
Results & Outcomes
- Charity nomination platform operational with full nomination, snowman customisation, and social sharing workflow.
- Interactive snowman builder creating personalised shareable social assets — driving organic amplification of charity nominations.
- Minimal form design achieving high completion rates through deliberate field reduction and the reward mechanic of snowman personalisation.
- Admin dashboard with filtering, sorting, and CSV export giving administrators full operational control.
