Little Lions Kenya Webflow Template Customization

Converting the CarelyGo Webflow template into a fully customized, live website for a nonprofit serving underprivileged children in Kibera, Nairobi — complete with donation integration, Instagram feed, and custom video playback.

The client had already purchased the CarelyGo Webflow template — a clean, nonprofit-focused template built for child welfare organizations. But a template alone isn't a website. Here's what the project actually required:

Adapting every section of the template to match Little Lions Kenya's real content, branding, and visual identity

Building additional pages not included in the original CarelyGo template

Integrating Givebutter for seamless, embedded donation functionality

Implementing Plyr.js to display YouTube videos without disruptive native controls or suggested video overlays

Connecting FeedSpring to auto-generate a live Instagram feed directly in Webflow

Building custom Webflow interactions and animations for a polished, engaging feel

Full QA pass across all pages — content accuracy, responsiveness, and on-page SEO

Launching to their existing domain and Webflow plan without downtime

1. Template customization Full content, copy, and branding overhaul aligned to Little Lions Kenya's identity 2. Custom pages Designed and built pages beyond the CarelyGo template scope from scratch 3. Givebutter integration Embedded a donation widget so supporters can give directly from the website 4. Plyr video player Clean YouTube embeds with a custom player UI — no distracting controls or suggestions 5. FeedSpring feed Live, auto-updating Instagram feed pulled directly into the Webflow site 6. Launch & QA Full QA, SEO pass, domain migration, and post-launch review with the client team

1. Template setup & content mapping Cloned CarelyGo into the client's Webflow workspace, then mapped their real content — mission, programs, stories, team — to each section of the template. 2. Custom page development Designed and built additional pages the template didn't cover — maintaining visual consistency with CarelyGo's design language throughout. 3. Third-party integrations Embedded Givebutter donation forms, set up FeedSpring for the Instagram feed, and implemented Plyr.js via custom code embeds for YouTube playback control. 4. Interactions & animations Applied Webflow interactions — scroll triggers, hover states, entrance animations — to bring the site to life without overwhelming the emotional storytelling. 5. QA & SEO review Ran a thorough quality check across all pages: responsiveness, content accuracy, broken links, meta titles, descriptions, and Open Graph tags. 6. Domain launch & handoff Migrated the site to the client's existing domain and Webflow plan, confirmed everything was live, then ran a post-launch review session with the Little Lions team.
