Key decisions

Familiar layouts over novel ones

Doctors, nurses and pharmacists have varying comfort with digital tools. Familiar layouts, built on the existing user data and personas, keep the learning curve low.

Trade-offA less distinctive interface, for one that feels familiar from day one.

Synbase website

Quieter brand, louder information

The application’s brand treatment was simplified to support accessibility and keep clinical information at the centre.

Trade-offLess brand expression inside the product.

Outcome

A web app, design system and public website designed together, so every screen shares the same parts.
