St. Michael’s Hospital

Website to raise awareness for people who have witnessed someone having a cardiac arrest

St. Michael’s hospital approached us to develop a web based resource to raise awareness for people who have witnessed someone who has suffered a cardiac arrest. The project included ground-up brand / logo design as well as a method through which end-users could share their stories, contribute to the national dialogue and gain a better understanding of cardiac arrest.

One of the main challenges with this project was to intuitively integrate the content, research and shared stories throughout the site without making it too sparse or too condensed. Being able to easily find what your looking for and navigate through each page was a challenge, which we overcame by maintaining a negative space balance throughout the site.

Branding the initiative

St. Michaels wanted an identifiable logo / brand for this initiative that was separate from the main St. Michael’s brand. The logo would be carried through the different communication objectives across Canada, including lectures, trade shows, information sessions and awareness campaigns.

We offered several brand directions for St. Michael’s designed through extensive collaborative brainstorming sessions. Ultimately we settled on a logo that incorporated the brand message in a simple yet effective way.

We are comfortable adapting to your existing processes and try our best to compliment communication and collaboration to the point where every step of the way is as efficient as possible.

Our projects are typically broken into 5 or 6 key “milestones” which focus heavily on the design collaboration in the early stages. We mock-up any interactive or unique page within your new website so that you get a clear picture of exactly how your design vision will be translated into a functional website.

Using tools like Basecamp and Redpen, we try to make the process simple yet fun and effective. We will revise your vision as many times as necessary until you are 100% happy, before moving to the functional, content integration and development phases of the project.

For the projects that are more development heavy, we make sure a considerable amount of effort is spent in the preliminary stages of project planning. We strongly believe that full transparency with a project development plan ensures that expectations are met on both sides between us and the client. We want to ensure that the project is broken into intelligent phases with accurate budgetary and timeline breakdowns.

Approved design mock-ups get translated into a browse-ready project site where we revise again and again until you are satisfied. Client satisfaction is our lifeblood and main motivation. We aren’t happy until you are.
