Thanduxolo Doro
Using the client’s Facebook page and research on similar websites contributed to finalising the layout and ideas for this website.
A Story in Research
The Situation
Rebranding and redesigning the website for Thanduxolo Doro — Podcaster, Thought Leader, and Movement Builder.
The Situation – a very simple website and social media platforms – podcast, YouTube, TiTtok. I already have X and Instagram although I haven’t been using them.
A clear, compelling, and conversion-friendly website depicting a thought leader, podcaster, and service provider (coaching, counseling, talks).
As part of this transformation, we’ve created a bold new logo that reflects his mission: unmasking truth and reigniting hope.
Goals
- Showcase his 20+ years of governance, leadership, and empowerment work.
- Position him as a trusted voice and thought leader in his field.
- Promote His Podcast & Content
- Highlight Speaking & Consulting Services
- Clarity & Accessibility – Mobile-friendly, fast-loading, easy navigation
- Engagement & Conversion
Solution
It was suggested to the client that we design a modern WordPress website for The Dojo. The motivation for using the WordPress platform is that it is user-friendly, responsive (mobile friendly) and rank high on Google Search.
The Result
A professional website with all the requirements converted visitors into members and improved Search Engine Optimization.
Overcoming Challenges
Product Features
The website has a clean minimal and responsive design. It includes information about Thanduxolo (His Story & “Why” & Values) and an introduction to his Podcast – Unmasked & Thriving. All podcast episodes from all seasons are available with links to his YouTube and Spotify account. Social media integration provide quick links his his social media platform pages.
User Experience Research
Various simlar websites and information was researched to ensure a good user experience.
Design & Layout
The minimal and modern layout ensures that the website is user-friendly, visually appealing, and easy to navigate.
For the Thanduxolo website branding, incorporating the colours of white, black, and shades of orange works well creating the following:
- Energy & Positivity: Orange conveys optimism, motivation, and warmth — fitting for a movement builder and thought leader.
- Attention-Grabbing: It stands out and creates a bold visual identity.
- Symbolic Fit: Ties into themes of reigniting hope (fire, light, renewal).
Branding Elements:
The website branding design for Thanduxolo Doro reflects his voice as a Podcaster, Thought Leader, and Movement Builder — bold, authentic, and purpose-driven. Rooted in warm shades of orange that symbolize hope, energy, and transformation, the design conveys his mission of unmasking truth and reigniting hope. The compass-inspired emblem reinforces his role as a guide and catalyst for change, while clean layouts and modern typography highlight clarity, professionalism, and trust. Each visual element is carefully chosen to create a cohesive user experience that is both inspiring and accessible, positioning the website as a digital platform for leadership, dialogue, and collective empowerment.
