StepChange.org went live on the 5th of November 2012, almost 18 months after the initial re-branding process of the Consumer Credit Counselling Service began.
The main site project itself took around 6 months to complete comprising of a complete restructure, new content and of course a new design. I worked closely with Leeds based Brass agency on the re-design work, spending time based in their offices collaborating on wireframes and initial design concepts.

Once wire-framing was complete, a variety of more detailed design directions were created with particular focus on the homepage. The designs had to incorporate the new brand guidelines we had recently received but I also thought it was important to retain some sense of familiarity with the old site.
My design was chosen as the one to progress with. This design direction was not only for the main site though, the look and feel was carried right through to StepChange’s online applications and the MoneyAware blog.
