Case study
Two audiences. Two languages. One site.
Employees and employers need different things from one wellness programme. We redesigned and rebuilt the Ascend to Wholeness website with an employee section, an employer section, every page in English and Spanish, single sign-on and search that opens the right tab.

2languages on every page, English and Spanish

The challenge
One programme, two very different visitors.
Ascend to Wholeness is a wellness programme for whole-person health. Its website had to serve the people on the plan and the employers who run it, in two languages.
The brief
What the programme needed
- A move off its older website
- Separate places for employees and employers
- Every page in English and Spanish
- Plan documents that are quick to scan
- Single sign-on
- Room for more content later
Delivered
What we built
- Employee and employer sections, so each visitor picks a path
- English and Spanish, linked to a professional translation service
- Documents grouped compactly in tabs
- Single sign-on
- Search that opens a page on the matching tab
- A clean design to the brand guidelines, built to grow
How it works
Pick a side. Pick a language.
Visitors choose who they are and which language they read. The site takes them to their plan, their documents and their next step.

Under the hood
The hard parts, solved.
Four requirements took the most work. We solved each one for the long term, not just for launch.
Search inside tabs
Much of the content sat in tabs. Each tab is searchable on its own, and a result opens the page on that tab.
Single sign-on
The programme asked for single sign-on, and we built it in from the start.
Fast on phones
Responsive on every screen size, with each page's images and files kept under 3MB so it loads quickly.
Tested as we built
Hosted on Microsoft Azure from the start, so changes went live quickly and Adventist Risk Management could test as we went.
In numbers
Small numbers, on purpose.
- 2languages on every page
- 2sections, one for employees and one for employers
- Under3MBof images and files on each page
