Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Website Redesign

As the pre­mier orga­ni­za­tion for high-qual­i­ty research and edu­ca­tion­al inno­va­tion in emer­gency care, the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) cre­ates and pro­motes sci­en­tif­ic dis­cov­ery, advance­ment of edu­ca­tion, and the high­est pro­fes­sion­al and eth­i­cal stan­dards for clin­i­cians, edu­ca­tors, and researchers.

Davis Design Partners designed a site built around clear­ly defined con­stituen­cies that facil­i­tat­ed access to infor­ma­tion using a vari­ety of Web 2.0 user inter­face tech­nolo­gies. The result is a much more dense and fea­ture-rich web­site that is acces­si­ble and friend­ly, while pur­pose­ful­ly rein­forc­ing the new­ly-updat­ed SAEM brand (also com­plet­ed by DDP). A com­plete wire­frame phase reflect­ed a revamped infor­ma­tion archi­tec­ture (IA), while deter­min­ing the best user expe­ri­ence (UX) pos­si­ble. The new site archi­tec­ture presents a ful­ly respon­sive web­site design that adapts to a view­er’s device res­o­lu­tion, pro­vid­ing a com­fort­able, opti­mized, and ful­ly acces­si­ble user expe­ri­ence. SAEM Annual Meeting and Foundation mini-sites round­ed out this com­plete site refresh, designed with their own unique look-and-feel, while still con­form­ing to over­all SAEM brand stan­dards. Content and site func­tion­al­i­ty is man­aged through an exten­sive and robust back-end CMS.
