Back Yourself

About the Project

Realising the need for a website that easily provides the information and support required by those living with AS, Back Yourself enlisted the help of SGD to revamp their website.

The goal was to create a more user-friendly and visually appealing platform that would reflect the brand’s values and also serve as a valuable resource for people living with AS.

The website needed to be easily navigable and interactive , convey accurate, credible information about AS in a clear and concise manner and provide access to various support services.

Our Solution

As a digital agency with a strong focus on assisting businesses to succeed online, SGD embraced the challenge with a client-centric approach.

The objective was to create a website that would not only reflect Back Yourself’s values but also enhance its online presence. The key steps involved in achieving this included:

1. Discovery Phase: SGD conducted thorough consultations with Back Yourself to understand their objectives, target audience, and specific needs. The insights gained from these discussions formed the foundation of the project’s strategy.
2. Strategic Planning: Building on the information gathered, SGD developed a comprehensive plan for website redesign and development. This plan placed a strong emphasis on user experience, a compelling brand identity, and effective communication of Back Yourself’s mission.
3. Design and Development: Leveraging their expertise, SGD’s design and development team created a modern website featuring vibrant aesthetics, user-friendly navigation, and responsive layouts. The website’s architecture was optimised for easy access to critical information. Video and animations made up a part of the design to make the website more engaging and interactive.
4. Content Integration: SGD worked closely with Back Yourself to add expert-vetted content to the site. The focus was on presenting resources, support, and community features clearly. Engaging and informative content written and reviewed by professionals was incorporated to build trust and community engagement.
5. User Testing: Before the website’s launch, SGD rigorously tested it across various devices and browsers to ensure seamless functionality and a consistent user experience.
6. Launch and Optimisation: Once Back Yourself approved the new website, it was launched, marking a significant milestone in their online journey. SGD continued to monitor the site’s performance, making minor adjustments for optimal functionality and performance.
