The Challenge
We’re extremely honored to have played a small role in furthering NAMI Vermont’s mission with our website build. This new website had to be easily navigable for a variety of users, including individuals living with mental illness and their families, people looking for educational resources, and those looking to donate or get involved. Another key goal was to give the website a new, modernized design that also met WCAG 2.1 AA Conformance standards.
Our Approach
Keeping these goals in mind, we built NAMI Vermont a new website that provides an improved user experience and reduces barriers to entry for individuals with disabilities. We also added functionality to the website so they can accept donations directly on their site, allow users to view upcoming events, and apply to become a member via an online form. With this updated design and functionality, users now leave the website with a thorough understanding of NAMI Vermont’s mission, and the mental health resources available to them.
Homepage Layout & Design
NAMI Vermont’s Homepage features a welcoming and friendly design. The different sections provide a seamless scrolling experience for users with several actionable links and resources.
- Large Hero Image with two call-to-action buttons to drive visitors to the information they’re searching for quickly
- A “How Can We Help” section that segments users based on their needs
- The Upcoming Events section makes it easy to find out what events are coming soon
- The “Featured News” section showcases important and/or recent news for users to access quickly
