Summary
Faced with a large reorganization and consolidation of multiple agencies, the Texas Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC) engaged BrightLeaf Group to help them strategically plan for and design a new website. This very large project spanned multiple stakeholder agencies and third-party vendors. By dividing the project into smaller, well-defined phases with clear deliverables, BrightLeaf successfully navigated the complexity to facilitate:
Brand and messaging development
Content audit and analysis
New site architecture
Accessible user experience design
New Drupal CMS implementation, which included migrating thousands of content pages
BrightLeaf approached the project planning with such attention to detail that the project required only two minor change orders to adjust for the client undergoing major organizational changes after the RFP and throughout the project.
The result: BrightLeaf delivered a transformational website redesign on time and within budget, helping HHSC meet its goal of making health and human services system delivery more efficient, transparent and effective.
