Moving Into Modernity

Physical Activity Alliance | Website Redesign

The Physical Activity Alliance (PAA) is a national coalition dedicated to policy and systemic changes enabling a more fit lifestyle for all. Their website felt cluttered and outdated, making it hard for visitors to navigate to the most important information. Our redesign focused on clarifying multiple structural aspects, improving back-end site health, and giving the site an overall visual refresh.

Streamlined navigation

PAA’s existing site navigation had too many elements and lacked a clear hierarchy. With our restructuring of the information architecture, pages were more clearly organized in familiar categories, reducing the cognitive load for site visitors to get to the right place, faster.

Resource organization

PAA provides dozens of resources in its library, but they were previously scattered across multiple site pages, with no way to sort through beyond manual scrolling. To prevent content from being buried, we first consolidated all resource types into one expansive library. Additionally, by implementing faceted search and filters, users are now able to narrow their results to their intended topic.

Refreshed feel, same mission

The PAA team was looking for a revitalized aesthetic for their site to provide stronger credibility as an authority figure on this mission. To elevate their site, we introduced brighter tints of their existing brand colors, a new type system, and sourced new stock imagery to fit the energized feel they desired.
