User-focused design
We invested in understanding the distinct user types, to help overcome historical navigation problems and deliver a positive experience and simple IA (information architecture).
The UI (user interface) design achieves a balance between a corporate look and feel, to enthuse trust and professionalism, and a member portal rich with detailed content, policy and reports.
Member engagement
Member engagement has increased as a result of high quality content, improved transparency, new communication channels, streamlined processes and increased awareness of new resources and training opportunities.
Accessibility & experience
Single sign-on (SSO) allows members to seamlessly switch between the website and 3rd party platforms.
Typography, tables, content design and page layouts consider the needs of everyone to navigate and consume the content.
The primary brand palette was adjusted to achieve AAA WCAG standard colour contrast (ratio higher than 7:1), making the website accessible for everyone.
Results
Over the first 6 months from launch the number of users has doubled and their time on site and engagement are also increasing.
