Context + Role
Context + Role
Professor Sam Menahem brought me on to rescue Melbourne Children’s Cardiology’s (MCC) old website after it mysteriously disappeared. Originally built over a decade ago on WordPress, the site had become inaccessible. The original developer had sadly passed away, leaving MCC with no way to recover it.
After investigating, I found that the outdated WordPress version and dependency issues made restoration impossible. But even if recovery had been an option, the site was no longer up to modern web standards or suited to MCC’s needs.
Instead of patching an outdated system, I proposed a fresh start; a sleek, single-page website built in Framer. This new site would reflect MCC’s friendly, patient-focused approach while delivering all the essential information in a clear, accessible, and modern format.

With no existing brand beyond the logo, I expanded MCC’s visual identity by introducing a neutral color palette that complemented its established branding. Since the logo was only available in a limited format, I redrew it from scratch and provided the source files for future use, giving MCC more flexibility moving forward.
Another major challenge was the outdated and cluttered content. The old site was packed with years-old updates, such as: "Professor Menahem will be out of the office for the next month. - August 2016."
To streamline everything, I sat down with Professor Menahem to sort through the information, identifying what was essential and how best to present it. We restructured the content into three key sections: A recent timeline to keep patients informed, a new collaborations section highlighting partnerships, and a "Significant Items" section featuring the most important details in a concise, digestible format.
This resulted in a clean, modern, single-page website that retains all the necessary information but presents it in a way that’s clear, engaging, and easy for users to navigate.

Instead of simply restoring or copying the old website, I took the initiative to build something far better, a modern and intuative site that truly reflects MCC’s personality, streamlines their information, enhances the user experience, and serves both the practice and its patients better than before.
Beyond just aesthetics, this project was about functionality and longevity. By developing the site in Framer, I ensured that MCC has full control over their content. I also provided guidance on how to edit key fields, giving them the autonomy to keep their website up to date without relying on a developer.
