Hope Dental | Site redesign to support strategic goals

Volunteer project for Hope Dental Clinic

Hope Dental Clinic serves people in Minneapolis-St. Paul who don’t have access to dental insurance or the means to pay for care.

 
 
 
 

Situation

Hope Dental had separated from another non-profit and moved on to a new space and new name. Their website needed a redesign to reconnect with their community.

Insight

The site needed to speak to each group separately — patients, volunteers and donors — to help meet outreach goals.

Approach

Create a home page with a call-to-action and path into the site for each group. Refine site navigation to do the same.

 
 
 
 
 

Process

Discovery research > Stakeholder interviews > Co-creation workshops

As a sole practitioner on this project, I wore many hats — all the hats. Through exploring the site and information gathering from stakeholders, I learned they needed to connect with three distinct audiences: donors, volunteers and patients.


  • Content design, strategy and writing

  • Visual design, information architecture and navigation, photo selection

  • Desired voice and tone, look and feel of the site

  • Stakeholder interviews to understand patient, volunteer and donor needs

  • Co-creation workshop with stakeholders to plan site structure and content
