Article 36, a UK-based not-for-profit aiming to protect people from the harm caused by weapons, has revealed its new website.
Created by Lancaster-based Hotfoot Design, the site introduces a refreshed brand identity to reflect a decade of diplomatic work to shape international legal standards and policies around weapons.
“It is absolutely wonderful! We are so pleased with both how it looks visually, but also its functionality. Having a beautiful website that communicates our work well is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much to the Hotfoot team,” said Megan Wiseman-Searle, Operations Coordinator at Article 36.
The design features bespoke illustrations by Ben Branagan. There is also an updated navigation, to make the site easier to browse. Publications and updates are organised by theme, so researchers, partners, and the public can quickly find the material most relevant to them.

“We wanted the new site to be as clear and considered as the policy work it represents,” said Eddie Bradshaw, Project Lead at Hotfoot.
“The focus was on making Article 36’s research and themes easy to explore, while giving the brand a visual identity that reflects the seriousness and credibility of their work.”
Julia Carefoot, Creative Lead at Hotfoot added:
“This has been such a rewarding project to work on.
“Article 36 deals with serious, high-stakes subject matter, and it was important to us that the visual identity reflected that, something considered and credible. I’m really proud of where the design landed, and it’s been a privilege to help give this work a home online that does it justice.”
