Redesign
UI Design
I redesigned the existing site to improve user experience while maintaining its strong SEO performance. The HTML structure was in good shape and made the redesign process way easier.
The redesign focused on creating an Airbnb-like experience for searching and comparing nursing homes, making it easier for families to make informed decisions about care centers.
A significant part of the redesign involved improving the map interface with better filters and familiar design patterns that users would find intuitive.
Frontend Overhaul
Technical Implementation
I took the time to refactor the frontend codebase to use Tailwind CSS instead of Bootstrap and SCSS. This made it easier to maintain and extend the site's styles while keeping it in sync with the design guidelines.
Accessibility was a key focus during the implementation. I enhanced the site's accessibility by implementing proper ARIA attributes and conducting thorough testing with VoiceOver for Mac and iOS.
New Features & Pages
Product Expansion
Beyond the core nursing home search functionality, I designed and implemented new sections to expand the site's offerings like the ElderGuide Award Claiming Widget.
A major addition was the medical alert device reviews section, which required creating new database schemas, implementing new page templates, and updating the content admin interface.
