Empathable – Empathy Training for Workplaces

An end-to-end website redesign to clarify value, streamline messaging, and modernize visual storytelling.

I led the content & visual overhaul to better serve healthcare and other industry clients.

Problem Statement

The original Empathable website lacked clear, consistent messaging and an intuitive user experience, making it difficult for visitors – especially healthcare and B2B clients – to quickly understand the product’s value and offerings. This resulted in low engagement, weak brand credibility, and missed conversion opportunities. The challenge was to redesign the site with a unified content strategy, clearer hierarchy, and modern visual storytelling to improve clarity, trust, and user flow for diverse industry audiences.

Key UX/UI Enhancements

Homepage

  • Before: Latent hierarchy, soft visual emphasis, inconsistent CTA placement.
  • After: Bold, impactful headline (“Empathy: The Performance Catalyst”), clear navigation, and repeated “Request a Demo” CTA in visual rhythm with content.
  • Layout restructured to guide users through: Who it serves → How it works → App/Product features → Testimonials → Conversion block.

Industry Pages

  • Consolidated content with structured tabs or sections tailored to each audience: healthcare, nonprofit, education, etc.
  • Used supporting iconography, outcome metrics, and client logos for storytelling.
  • Introduced feature imagery and context-driven visuals to build trust and clarity.

Visual Branding

  • Simplified color palette for better readability and less noise.
  • Unified icon style and image selection to match authentic tone and brand sensibility.
  • Clear section backgrounds and whitespace to enhance flow and pace.
