Design concept B
About this concept
A clickable design concept by Clearview, made for CAMWS's website RFP so the evaluators can try a direction rather than read about one.
Why a second concept
Concept A (on concept A) is editorial: it follows the current site's sections and presents CAMWS's story. Concept B starts from the other end, from what people come to do. It treats the website as CAMWS's membership office: join or renew, give a paper, register, apply for an award, teach, read and give. Between them, CAMWS can choose a direction, or a mix of the two.
What it shows
- The member journey from our proposal: joining in one sitting (join), then an abstract form that already knows you're a current member and checks your text stays anonymous (submit).
- Dates in one place, with calls that close themselves when their deadline passes.
- Awards by who can apply, not by committee.
- An accessible map of the eleven regions, drawn by the site's own code from public boundary data, with the same information as a keyboard-friendly list.
- One donation form with the fund as a choice.
What it is not
- Not CAMWS's website, and not affiliated with or approved by CAMWS. The real site is camws.org.
- Not the production platform. The concept is built on Nanopage, an AI-assisted site platform that our CTO, Jasmin Ihtijarevic, is involved in building. In our proposal, CAMWS's staff choose the website's CMS in a joint session, after demos: WordPress, another established CMS, or one built for CAMWS with AI-assisted editing. Membership, renewals, dues and registration run on Wild Apricot either way.
- Not a new brand. The colours and typefaces are a direction to react to; the proposal works within CAMWS's identity.
- Nothing invented. Every fact comes from camws.org as published on 12 October 2026. Anything drawn rather than sourced, such as the signed-in member, is marked Illustrative. Journal covers are typographic placeholders.
- No form sends anything.
How it's built
Static pages with no third-party requests: fonts (Archivo and Source Serif 4, both under the SIL Open Font License) are served from the concept itself, and the map is drawn from Natural Earth boundaries, which are in the public domain. Every page is marked noindex. Design notes, switched on with the button at the top, explain each choice against what camws.org does today.
We'll take this concept down whenever CAMWS asks: chase@clearview.team.
