Design brief

Glaucoma Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to eliminate glaucoma blindness in Australia by detecting and treating the disease early. Their website is a source of hope, information and support for people in Australia that are affected by this life-changing disease.

Digital Garden was engaged by Glaucoma Australia to redesign its ageing and content-rich site into a user journey-driven experience.

Streamlined user journeys

Streamlined user journeys

A condensed navigation promotes key tasks and supports making the Glaucoma journey a less daunting experience for users. Each top-level menu item acts as a hub for users who can identify with the stage and find relevant support and information. 

  • ‘What Is Glaucoma’ is a hub for those starting their journey or who have just become aware of the risks of Glaucoma. The megamenu calls out a risk quiz for users to help assess their potential risk of developing Glaucoma, based on their family and medical history. 
  • ‘I Have Glaucoma’ is the landing place for those that have just been diagnosed or are managing Glaucoma. It calls out Glaucoma Australia’s support network and provides access to management and support tools
  • ‘I Treat Glaucoma’ is the hub for medical professionals to access resources to help their patients. The section promotes a referral program for patients to access information at every stage of their Glaucoma journey. 

Accessibility

Accessibility is extremely important for a website of this nature.. Digital Garden took great care to ensure the design was AA compliant and suited to those who may have imparied vision. This meant colour contrast and font size was carefully considered to be easily readable. 

The website also features the Monsido PageAssist accessibility option to cater toward users with a disability. Monsido has numerous options including adjusting font size, text spacing, contrast  and media control.

Smart integrations

Smart integrations

Integrations have been implemented across the site to handle various functionalities:

SecurePay - SecurePay is used to handle online payments on the donation and ecommerce parts of the site, allowing for seamless and highly secure transactions.

ThankQ CRM - Integrated to collect data from multiple forms for ease of use data management.

The support network

The support network

People who are diagnosed with or are living with Glaucoma may feel a sense of isolation. 

Working with Glaucoma Australia, Digital Garden identified a need to foster stronger ties with the community. The site features a support network for users to get reassurance and connect with others with Glaucoma. These community stories are featured on the homepage and throughout the site, as a reminder that people with Glaucoma are not alone. 

 

Results


A beautiful website that accommodates the types of users who are visiting and reaches out to them with engaging and informative content to give them hope in their fight against glaucoma.
