About the project
Our Role
We collaborated closely with HealthBegins to design and develop the Social Needs Investment Lab, delivering:
- A user-friendly website built on Webflow.
- Searchable and filterable functionality for assessment reports.
- A distinct yet connected branding approach that aligned with HealthBegins and Elevance Health.
Challenges
- Complex Branding Requirements: The site needed to be co-branded with HealthBegins as the primary brand and Elevance Health as the secondary, while remaining distinct enough to feel like its own entity.
- Accessibility and Scalability: Designed to comply with ADA standards, the site required the flexibility to accommodate future membership models, video case studies, and other resource expansions.
- Streamlined Experience: The landing page needed to highlight the depth and breadth of evidence available, minimizing clicks to value, akin to the functionality of platforms like Airbnb.
Solutions
- Custom Branding: Developed a design system that utilized HealthBegins' existing branding as a foundation, incorporating new color palettes and visual elements to differentiate the Lab.
- User-Focused Design: Designed the landing page with a focus on:some text
- A searchable library as the central feature.
- Card-based design inspired by platforms like Yelp and Airbnb for intuitive navigation.
- Clear content hierarchy to emphasize the Lab’s resources and impact.
- Webflow Implementation: Delivered a responsive, bilingual website in English and French, with CMS capabilities to manage blogs, events, and whitepapers.
- Future-Ready Architecture: Incorporated a structure to support potential membership models, where certain resources could later be restricted to members.
Results
- Successful Launch: The Social Needs Investment Lab is live, providing users with a seamless way to explore evidence-based assessments.
- Positive Feedback: The intuitive design has been well-received, laying the groundwork for future enhancements such as video case studies and live convenings.
