Brighton Center

Brighton Center is a non-profit organization based in San Antonio that provides specialized services for children with disabilities and developmental delays.

This project involved the redesign of over 25 pages, with a clear objective: reduce friction, improve accessibility, and create an experience that supports users in high-stress situations.

The challenge was not just visual, but also structural.

The platform served users who:

  • Are often emotionally and cognitively overloaded

  • Have limited time to navigate complex systems

  • Rely heavily on digital access for critical decisions


Despite this, the existing website introduced unnecessary complexity at every level.


Core contradiction:
A support-focused organization delivering a high-friction digital experience.

discovery phase.
  1. RESEARCH & DISCOVERY

Site Audit — A full audit revealed systemic issues:

  • Inconsistent page structures

  • Lack of prioritization of key actions

  • Poor mobile performance

Heuristic Evaluation — Using usability principles, we identified:

  • Visibility of system status → weak

  • User control → limited

  • Consistency → broken across pages

  • Recognition vs recall → heavily recall-based


The experience relied too much on user effort.

  1. USER UNDERSTANDING

After a meeting with the client, we could define the persona based on pre-existing internal research and previously converted leads.

  • Maria → Needs simple navigation and clear language.

  • John → Values speed, structure, and mobile usability.

  • Emily → Needs fast access to shareable resources.

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE

We restructured the entire sitemap with:

  • Flattened hierarchy

  • Task-oriented grouping

  • Clear entry points from homepage

SKETCHING DESIGN IDEAS

After analyzing the site architecture and identifying recurring information groups across legacy pages, we moved into low-fidelity sketching.

The goal was to define core page templates that consolidate primary content blocks while also concentrating the majority of reusable components.

The pages choosed to be on this low-fidelity sketch were:

  • Homepage

  • Services

  • Pediatric Therapy Services (0-3)

  • Blog homepage

  • Blog post page

  1. CONVERTING INTO UI

We translated the sketches into low-fidelity prototypes to validate layout decisions and define reusable components for more efficient content organization. With that structure in place, we moved on to designing high-fidelity prototypes for the same five pages.

  1. REPLICATING UI

After validating what worked and what didn’t, we refined the UI designs and component system, then scaled the solution across all 37 mapped pages and their variants, to ensure consistency

VALIDATING 37 INTERCONNECTED PAGES

To validate the new information architecture and user flows, a full high-fidelity prototype was developed, covering 37 interconnected pages across the platform.

Bruno did a great job with the design comps for a large scale website. His attention to detail and willingness to put in the necessary time to make our deadline were excellent. He has great communication skills and our team found it easy to coordinate and work with him.
