Website rebrand and restructure for children's kidney network

We’ve worked with the EMEESY Children’s Kidney Network for a number of years, supporting the ongoing development of their website in order to meet the growing demands of patients, carers and healthcare professionals.

The EMEESY website is a well-established and highly used resource for young people, families and professionals, providing trusted information and support. With strong visitor numbers, it is relied upon as a key source of guidance throughout the country, reaching even beyond its intended audience.

Challenge

The existing website contained a large amount of content which had been developed over time. Whilst still useful, the quantity of information had outgrown the site it was written for, and EMEESY had noticed that their audiences had developed and changed over time. It was essential for the content to be retained, but an updated structure was needed to support the website’s diverse audiences - aiming to increase the engagement with young people and their carers, and improving the ease of navigation around the site.

Alongside this, EMEESY required a refresh of their brand identity to better reflect their work.

We've got a website that is at the envy of other paediatric renal units. We wanted somebody we could work with who listened to us and could come back with good ideas. Volute seem to have a natural instinct to understand the needs of a health-related patient group. The Volute team have been very supportive over the many years we have worked together.

Development

We worked with the EMEESY team to restructure the website around their existing content to provide a clearer and more logical navigation system with a stronger focus on patients and families.

Alongside the structural changes, a full rebrand was delivered, including a redesigned logo and updated colour scheme.

To better support different audience groups, we introduced district visual elements within the design, through the use of consistent colours and imagery. This allowed each audience to have a clearer, more tailored experience while maintaining overall brand consistency.

The Results

The refreshed website builds on a strong foundation, improving usability whilst retaining the depth and value of its existing content. The improved structure makes navigation more intuitive, helping all users find the information they need quickly and easily.

The increased focus on patients and families improves clarity and user experience, while the segmented design supports a more tailored experience for each audience.
