We’ve recently had the pleasure of redesigning and building a brand-new website for Stothard Supported Living.

The aim was pretty straightforward: create a website that feels welcoming, is easy to use and makes it much simpler for families, carers and individuals to find the information they need.

Making things easier

When someone visits a supported living website, they’re usually there for an important reason.

They might be looking for support for a family member, trying to understand what services are available or simply wanting to get a feel for the people behind the organisation.

So, rather than overcomplicating things, we focused on making the new website clear and easy to explore.

We looked at how information was organised, simplified the journey through the site and made sure visitors could quickly get to the things that matter most.

A completely fresh look

The old website was ready for a change, so we gave it a full visual refresh rather than simply giving the existing design a quick tidy-up.

The new look is cleaner, brighter and more welcoming, while still feeling professional and trustworthy.

We wanted the website to reflect the friendly, supportive nature of Stothard Supported Living, so everything from the layouts to the way information is presented has been designed with that in mind.

Clearer, friendlier content

We also spent time looking at the words on the website.

It’s easy for websites in the care and support sector to become filled with formal language and industry terms. But families, carers and individuals don’t want to spend their time working out what everything means, they just want clear, useful information.

The new content is simpler, friendlier and easier to understand.

It helps explain who Stothard Supported Living are, what they do and how they support people, without making things unnecessarily complicated.

Designed to be accessible

Making the website easier for everyone to use was an important part of the project too.

We’ve kept pages clear, made information easier to read and created straightforward navigation so visitors can find their way around without having to think too hard about it.

The website also works comfortably across mobiles, tablets and computers, which is particularly important when so many of us now reach for our phones first.

More than just a new look

While we’re really pleased with how the new website looks, this project was about much more than making things prettier.

It was about creating a better experience for the people using it.

The finished website gives Stothard Supported Living a fresh new online home that feels more like them, while giving families, carers and individuals a much easier way to learn about the organisation and the support available.

Simple, welcoming and easy to use, exactly what we wanted it to be.
