What we did

Custom Website Design and Development; Database integrations

Awards won

2023 w3 Awards - Silver Award Winner; 2023 Web Excellence Awards - Winner

Our team has had the pleasure of supporting the ACDH (previously CRDHA) as its website partner since 2019. As part of its rebranding efforts, our team was proud to have been trusted with crafting a new, modern, and engaging website based on their brand new ACDH visual identity.

The new website has been redesigned from the ground up with a clear goal of promoting the important themes of professionalism, trust, authority, and accountability.

The overall goal for this project was to create a visually pleasing design that offered a modern, dynamic and engaging user experience for site visitors.

We utilized rounded borders, shifted and overlapped page elements, and increased the use of imagery throughout to create a new design that promotes themes of trust, accountability, and professionalism.

A custom navigation landing page design allows the ACDH team to create pages for site visitors to quickly and easily access a selection of relevant page and resource links for key areas and audience funnels.

The unique landing page design uses elements of the new ACDH logo paired with and without photography, to create a consistent and visually dynamic way of promoting resources for various stakeholder groups.

A key desired enhancement for this project provided us with an opportunity to collaborate with the ACDH on an updated feature experience for their vital "Verify a Registered Dental Hygienist" feature. Developing custom database integrations in coordination with ACDH's selected vendor, our team is able to seamlessly present registrant lookup results in a custom brand designed layout. Helping to create an enhanced and consistent user experience over a previous embed service page feature.

Standards of Practice

Our WebGuide CMS Projects Module has been utilized to great effect allowing the ACDH team to organize and showcase their new Standards of Practice and Guidelines feature of the website.

Our Projects Module has been configured for the ACDH team's unique needs to ensure users will have an easy way to search for and access all relevant key information about each Standard of Practice or Guideline available within a consistent layout and visual design.

Focused on communications

With a heavy focus on improving stakeholder communications and engagement, the design of the new site now includes a custom contact form that is located in the footer area of all pages throughout the new ACDH website.

This addition has been made to help provide an easy and seamless way for user to always "get in touch" with the ACDH, from any page, with any questions or concerns they may have, at any time.
