Crohn's & Colitis UK

Crohn’s & Colitis (CCUK) provide information and services for healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of people with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

We were approached to restructure, redesign and build their website. Extensive research was carried out (user personas, user journeys, Google Analytics and heat-map testing) before creating interactive wireframes which were user tested to validate our assumptions and provide further improvement opportunities. Various interpretations of a new brand were explored, refined and applied to a full set of website designs optimised for desktop, tablet and mobile.

Initial results following the launch of the site are very promising with users now spending longer on the website, bounce rates down significantly and very strong feedback from users.

Based on the success of the website redesign and build, CCUK have approached us for numerous pieces of additional work, including Membership, donations, Marketing, Symptom Checker, Medicine Tool and Fatigue Tool.
