Pediatric Research Alliance

New Website for Atlanta’s premier pediatric research alliance.

Background

The Atlanta Pediatric Research Alliance (PEDs) is an academic research and health consortium consisting of Emory University, Georgia Tech University, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, a private non-profit hospital. Beginning in 2010 we took over maintenance of their large, rather unruly ExpressionEngine website. The site was disorganized and their CMS was complicated and difficult for staff to use. In 2017 we were hired to completely redesign and overhaul the PEDs website.

The Problem

The PEDs site was very large and they had four diverse member organizations relying on the website for information gathering, document sharing and research collaboration. The current site contained massive amounts of information but it was poorly organized and hidden behind layers of navigation. The site's functionality was overly complex and difficult for partners to take advantage of. Gradually the site became stagnant and was rarely used by any of the four member organizations.

Our Approach

After meeting with all four PEDs constituency groups to plan and discuss their goals and priorities for the site, we set out to completely redesign and re-engineer the site. The result is a slick and interactive new site that has become a "go to" clearinghouse for information and collaboration within the member organizations and among the pediatric research world at large.

Praise

Our site was a mess! Jim and his team came in and walked us through the process of completely rethinking our site. Now we have a very logical, clean and well-utilized site that is the ‘go to’ place to find out anything and everything about our research alliance. This was super important since our enterprise covers several institutions, academia (Emory and GeorgiaTech) and a private non-profit hospital (Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta). Barbara W.
