Enterprise sized web platform for multiple user audiences and journeys
ACC’s previous website had become very dated and had outgrown its current framework. Information was hard to find and users, members and counsellors alike found it difficult to navigate the website, renew memberships and make bookings. The ACC website needed a design framework which would help users navigate around complex information, membership and booking processes. I began by auditing the existing website and mapping the key user journeys to understand where users were struggling to find information or complete tasks. Through stakeholder discussions and user journey analysis, I identified the most important actions users needed to complete, including finding a counsellor, renewing memberships, booking training courses, making donations and accessing professional resources. I then restructured the information architecture and navigation to make these journeys easier to find and understand. Complex processes were broken down into clearer steps, with consistent navigation patterns, page layouts and calls to action used throughout the site. The interface was designed around the needs of different user groups whilst maintaining a consistent experience, helping users quickly identify the content and services most relevant to them. A significant part of the project involved restructuring the information architecture, as we found users were struggling not because information didn't exist, but because they couldn't find it.
