One Recovery
Creating a digital resource for a progressive 21st century addiction charity.
Led by Addiction Dependency Solutions (ADS), One Recovery is an innovative substance misuse partnership, who operate throughout Staffordshire, Oldham and Bury via treatment centres and recovery hubs.
Brief
As a new service, One Recovery wanted to establish themselves online with a groundbreaking digital presence.
We were approached to create a website that engaged users and encouraged them to interact with key services, like the self-completion tests, whilst still providing a wealth of information on the health and social implications of drink and drug use.
Action
Innovative and interactive design were key considerations of the creative process.
- Websites & Apps
- Content Direction
- Visual Design
- Interaction Design
- Responsive Design
- Animation
Stepping away from the use of lifestyle photography was important, as we didn't want to stigmatise or typecast those who engaged with the site. We created a visual direction which was approachable, fun and engaging, making users feel comfortable throughout their varying journeys on the website.
Outcome
Digital innovation in the field of health and social care.
After the success of One Recovery Staffordshire, we were required to continue this unique direction by duplicating and adjusting the website where necessary for each One Recovery location. This has developed a consistent resource platform for ADS and their service users.
We Are Empire presented a unique illustration-based design that would not stigmatise or typecast those who engaged with the site, and offered a modern intervention based public health website, utilising bespoke features like the alcohol and drug self-completion test.
We have enjoyed working with We Are Empire, developing a design-led website that is user friendly and informative - we have received great feedback on the website, and found the process of developing the site to be collaborative and productive.
