The Challenge: A Website That No Longer Matched the Practice
When Jackie from Nutritional reached out, the practice had evolved significantly—but the website hadn’t kept up.
What started as a smaller practice had grown into a well-established nutrition counseling business with multiple practitioners and plans to launch self-directed courses. But the website still felt dated, difficult to manage, and unclear for potential clients.
Jackie shared several concerns:
“The current website no longer reflects the reality of a well-established specialist practice.”
The existing website also created friction in the client journey. Inquiry forms weren’t collecting enough information, clients sometimes disengaged when referred to another dietitian in the practice, and the website structure wasn’t clearly explaining how the team worked together.
On top of that, the business serves a neurodivergent population, which meant the website needed to prioritize clarity, simplicity, and accessibility—not overwhelming design trends or cluttered layouts.
The Goal: Clearer Navigation, Better UX, and a More Professional Presence
Jackie booked a Refresh Intensive to create a website that better reflected the expertise of the practice while making the experience easier for both current and future clients.
The priorities included:
Modernize the design to feel more professional
Improve navigation and clarity
Better explain the team-based practice model
Prepare the website for future course launches
Improve SEO and search visibility
Create a more accessible experience for neurodivergent users
Improve inquiry and contact workflows
The Refresh: Strategic Design + Accessibility Improvements
Because the practice already had a strong brand foundation, the refresh focused on refining and expanding the existing visual identity while improving usability across the site.
Jackie wanted the design to feel clean, calm, and easy to navigate—without overly styled food imagery that could feel triggering for some clients.
