GOALS

CONTENT PLANNING
Organizing the content for findability and discussion
We created diagrams and annotated wireframes to help align people from different disciplines to talk about goals and requirements.
Do we have what we need and are the things located and connected in a way that makes sense?

Sitemap and phased diagram planning

Low fidelity wireframes and content inventory

Annotations identifying content and related behaviors, along with comments or questions for discussion
SITE ASSETS
Icons and illustrations that highlight platform benefits in a refreshed style.
Design style options
We explored different illustration styles and site designs, landing on a consensus around being bright, bold and approachable—the platform should not feel overly technical or complicated.
