Challenges
ABmunis serves different audiences with different goals and language. Content lives deep in sections and PDFs, which makes finding programs and taking action harder on mobile. Accessibility and performance need to be verified, analytics need clarity, and the team needs a plan that balances immediate fixes with long term upkeep.
Approach
We ran discovery, research, and audits, then shaped a practical plan. The deliverable pairs quick wins like titles, headings, link hygiene, and media compression with larger changes like IA adjustments, accessibility hardening, template consistency, and a tracking plan tied to key tasks. Along the way we aligned structure and patterns through UI/UX best practices and tuned search basics with pragmatic SEO.
Outcomes
ABmunis left with an actionable roadmap, covering faster routes to high value tasks, stronger accessibility, healthier search foundations, and a measurement plan the team owns. Our focus is simple. Clear structure, search fundamentals, and practical coaching so internal teams can keep improving without heavy lift.
