Enhancing the Digital Experience
After multiple review phases and creative workshops, we finalized the creative direction. This provided a solid foundation for our style guides and the overall design framework. The branding could then be spread across the companies digital footprint. This brought cohesive branding to it’s many social media accounts. And provided a toolkit for teams like HR to generate branded internal content.

Content Architecture
To create a top-quality user experience, we analyzed leading industry sites and mapped Mindbody’s existing content into core areas. Using card sorting exercises, we identified how users naturally categorized information, shaping an intuitive content structure. I proposed a phased approach, beginning with foundational pages like the homepage, about page, and career site. Later phases introduced a content hub for blogs and news, immersive pages for customer stories and reports, and microsites for Mindbody’s sub-brands, all designed to support a cohesive and scalable digital presence.

    Wireframes to Prototypes
    We aimed to attract talent with a visually appealing, user-friendly site that effectively conveyed Mindbody’s mission and culture. Using Figma, we developed an interactive prototype to demonstrate user flow and organize content and page hierarchy. We integrated the refreshed brand identity across all pages, creating a cohesive and engaging user experience.
