Project brief

Ask For Health needed a digital platform that delivered reliable health information in a clear, youth-friendly format while meeting strict accessibility standards. The brief was to design the full UI, create an intuitive UX informed by real youth feedback, and develop a flexible WordPress build that could scale as new content was added. A strong editing experience and a fast, accurate search and filtering system were essential project requirements.

A youth informed design approach

Drawing on insights from youth advisory sessions, we built a UX framework that supports varied reading levels, simplifies information discovery, and reduces cognitive load. The design focuses on clarity, warmth, and trust, while aligning fully with accessibility best practice.

A flexible and scalable WordPress build

We built a structured WordPress framework designed specifically for producing and updating health topics. The Ask For Health team can publish new content, edit existing topics, and manage the resource library without developer involvement. Purpose-built templates maintain consistency across all health information and make ongoing content production faster and more reliable as the library grows.

Dynamic search and filtering

To help users find relevant topics quickly, we implemented a dynamic resource library powered by Algolia search and multi-factor filtering. This delivers a fast, intuitive browsing experience for young users and allows the internal team to expand categories and tags as the library evolves.

Accessibility first

Accessibility was a core priority. Every component, interaction, and layout was designed and developed to meet WCAG standards so the platform remains usable and inclusive for all visitors. We also implemented text to voice support for health topics and added UserWay to provide additional accessibility options for users who need them.

Ongoing support and training

We continue to provide hosting, maintenance, and support to keep the platform fast, stable, and secure. The team also received hands-on training so they can manage the component library and confidently publish new health topics as they’re developed.
