Speak Their Name is a meaningful initiative created to bring together those bereaved by suicide, offering a space to honour and remember loved ones. The platform allows families and friends to create personalised remembrance pages—places where they can express their love and care through images, words, and videos, celebrating the lives shared.
The project was initiated by Ashley, who reached out to us as soon as he conceived the idea for Speak Their Name. Having collaborated with him previously through Baton of Hope UK, we were honoured to bring his vision to life and support the charity’s ambitions to expand its impact internationally in the future.
Challenges
With such a deeply personal and meaningful cause, the project required sensitivity, collaboration, and precision. The website needed to:
- Reflect the charity’s vision and values with a professional yet heartfelt design.
- Accommodate feedback from a team of trustees, ensuring every perspective was considered to achieve the best possible result.
- Provide a seamless user experience for visitors across all devices, including those who may not be tech-savvy.
- Incorporate advanced features such as searching for loved ones by name or attributes and creating personalised remembrance pages with ease.
- Lay the groundwork for potential international expansion, ensuring scalability and accessibility for future launches in other countries.
Our Solution
We worked closely with Ashley and the trustees to design a website that met the charity’s needs and honoured its mission. Key features of the platform include:
- Personalised Remembrance Pages: Families and friends can create dedicated pages for their loved ones, choosing from a variety of layouts to make each page unique and meaningful.
- Search Functionality: Visitors can search for loved ones by name or attributes, providing a simple yet powerful way to connect with the memories of those lost.
- User-Friendly Design: The process of creating and customising pages was made intuitive and accessible from any device, ensuring it’s easy for anyone to use.
- Collaborative Approach: Throughout the project, we worked alongside the team, incorporating feedback to ensure every voice was heard and the final product reflected a shared vision.
- Scalability for International Reach: The website’s design and functionality were developed with future growth in mind, paving the way for potential launches in additional countries to extend the charity’s impact globally.

The Speak Their Name website has become a powerful platform for remembrance, connection, and healing. It provides a digital space where families and friends can come together to celebrate the lives of their loved ones lost to suicide. The professional and intuitive design ensures that visitors can navigate and use the site effortlessly, creating a lasting and impactful resource for those it serves. With aspirations to launch into other countries, the platform is poised to bring its mission of support and remembrance to a global audience.
