Winning Project: Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Website Redesign, Phase 1

Our winning project focused on the Phase 1 redesign of the DES website (des.wa.gov). We collaborated with DES to improve usability, achieve business objectives, modernize the look and feel, and align with evolving customer needs. Using the Human-Centered Design approach, our team of experts in UX research, design, content strategy, and accessibility ensured that the new website would be both useful and user-friendly.

The result is a mobile-friendly, accessible website with a revamped information architecture that prominently showcases DES products and services. Clear calls-to-action guide customers on how to engage with DES, while a visual rebranding creates a cohesive brand identity that highlights the agency's diverse offerings.

The launch of Phase 1 received rave reviews for its simplicity and user-friendliness. Customers now find it easier to discover and understand the services provided by DES, thanks to reduced content and intuitive design. Self-service options empower customers, saving time and effort for both them and the agency, while fostering trust and satisfaction with DES.
