• Lifebridge’s existing platform and content

• Pain points and inefficient practices

• Improved content model; intuitive groupings to inform content types and taxonomy

• Consistent look and feel using UX/UI best practices

• Modern editor experience for internal team

• Intentional URL structure and alias patterns

DISCOVERY FINDINGS

• Site lacks architectural hierarchy

  • Breadcrumbs are hard-coded

  • Entire content area is inputted via a single editor field

  • All URLs are prepended with “/main” (e.g. https://www.lifebridgehealth.org/main/heart-and-vascular-care)

• SEO and accessibility need improvement

• Poor internal search experience

• Inconsistent/incomplete design guidelines

  • Customer provided incomplete mockups that lack pixel specificity and mobile layouts

  • Style guide is not finalized; headers and footers vary across the site

  • Site is built using raw HTML and embedded CSS
