The Challenge

2018 original Laborie design layout and style.

01

What & Why: Users needed an optimized user flow and an intuitive navigational structure because the existing disorganized layout created constant friction and left them feeling lost.

Frictionless Journeys: Replace navigational confusion with a seamless, user-centric flow that empowers every visitor to reach their destination with clarity and confidence.

02

What & Why: Users needed an intelligent, intuitive search system and clearly defined content relationships because the existing basic search and lack of structure made it nearly impossible to find specialized, high-value information.

Filter with Precision: Establish relationships between products, technical specs, and case studies, and implement specialized filtering and “smart” results allowing the user to bypass generic content and land on the specific data they need for decision-making.

03

What & Why: The Laborie brand needed a modernized digital platform because the current website failed to reflect its evolved identity and the full scale of its expanded portfolio.

Brand Authenticity: Evolve the digital presence into a cohesive brand experience that accurately reflects Laborie’s current market leadership and the full breadth of its innovative solutions.

04

What & Why: Internal product and marketing teams needed a more robust, scalable CMS because the existing WordPress site lacked the technical depth to efficiently manage and maintain dozens of complex products and services.

Enterprise Scalability: Replace a restrictive legacy framework with a high-performance, scalable ecosystem that empowers internal teams to manage complex product portfolios with precision, speed, and zero technical friction.

05

What & Why: The organization needed a comprehensive SEO strategy and targeted content pages because the absence of a structured keyword approach prevented them from capturing high-intent traffic, quality conversions, and capped their ranking potential.

Global Authority: Maximize visibility and authority within the medical community by integrating a sophisticated SEO framework that aligns digital content with the specific search behaviors and needs of a global audience.

01

Solution

Performed an on-site, full-day persona study at the corporate office to identify primary user groups and content requirements.

Results

Provided a data-driven foundation to determine exactly what information each specific user type needed.

02

Solution

Built a customized content structure and user flow tailored to healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers across three medical divisions.

Results

Ensured the site navigation and organization accommodated the distinct needs of all major personas and brand categories.

03

Solution

We initiated the brand’s evolution by developing a strategic moodboard to align stakeholders on a visual language that signals authority, innovation, and clinical excellence. This design direction was used to create a unified digital style guide that replaced the fragmented messaging with a cohesive narrative, showcasing Laborie’s entire solution portfolio through a modern, high-performance interface.

Results

The transformation successfully bridged the "brand-reality gap," establishing a digital presence that finally matched Laborie’s position as a global market leader. By unifying the brand voice and visual identity, we created a consistent experience that increased portfolio visibility, stakeholder confidence, and provided a scalable platform that could grow with the company’s continued innovations.

04

Solution

Optimized the URL strings and site hierarchy to prevent specific pages from being buried too deep in the structure.

Results

Maintained clear section identity and simplified navigation, making it easier for users to access deep-level content.
