Projects | Hospital Website Design

I have been fortunate over the last 2 years to serve as a freelance designer for a company called Medseek who provides enterprise and web solutions to hospitals and healthcare organizations all over the country. My role has primarily been contributing design concepts for consumer websites. Medseek works with several designers on any given project and each site goes through many rounds of revision, testing and evolution before it finally launches to the public. I thought it might be interesting to share a bit of that process for a hospital site that recently launched based on my design.

And just for fun/reference, here's the client's previous "before" site:
