Massachusetts Alliance on Teen PregnancyBrightBold had built a website for the Alliance in 2009, but by 2014 the site was in need of an upgrade and redesign. The Alliance wanted to move away from one-way communication with their constituents on their website and create more of an interactive community. The site needed to be streamlined and provide ways for constituents to deepen their engagement with the Alliance.
BrightBold assisted with content strategy, helping staff reorganize content and cut out what wasn’t necessary. We built an easy-to-use content administration dashboard so staff can edit and manage content with minimal effort. We added new features like an interactive birth data tool. And we gave it a modern design with great functionality on mobile devices.
