The Challenge

Ahead of an awareness campaign to increase understanding of the charity, East Anglian Air Ambulance partnered with a brand agency to refresh their brand guidelines. With the updated guidelines finalised, East Anglian Air Ambulance needed the new brand reflected across their website.

At the same time, they wanted to make quick-win improvements to key pages and content blocks to enhance the user experience and conversion journeys. The aim of applying the refresh was to provide a more impactful, accessible and easier-to-digest experience.

The project had a fixed deadline aligned with the campaign launch, making it essential that the new brand was consistently applied across the entire site, not just the redesigned pages.

Our Approach

To meet the challenge, we moved straight into the UX/UI design phase, focusing on visualising the new brand digitally, working alongside East Anglian Air Ambulance brand agency, applying best practice recommendations for website design from our expert designers.  

Filter’s UX/UI team explored how the brand could best enhance the user experience, ensuring readability, accessibility and engagement.

On the technical side, we applied the new brand styles globally across the entire site to ensure consistency, while our UX/UI efforts focused specifically on redesigning key pages and content blocks to maximise impact. 

During this process, our developers also carried out backend cleanups and spot check optimisations, future-proofing the site for ongoing continuous improvement work.

Results

The new website changes launched on schedule, providing a brand-aligned digital foundation for a major awareness campaign with integrated promotion across outdoor, radio, programmatic, social and PR channels.

Users now benefit from a visually appealing, accessible and responsive design. Small quick win updates to key pages and blocks have made content more impactful, helped key information stand out and reduced cognitive overload.

For East Anglian Air Ambulance, the platform offers a scalable foundation for growth with clean-ups and optimisation delivered on legacy technical debt. 

Early feedback from the client has been highly positive, with the site delivered on time and ready to support a major national campaign.

Why This Story Matters

This project demonstrates how, with a fixed deadline and campaign-led launch, a refreshed brand can be successfully rolled out across a large website without a full rebuild. 

By focusing UX and design effort on key pages while applying global styles and targeted clean-up elsewhere, Filter and East Anglian Air Ambulance delivered a consistent, accessible and engaging brand experience within a short timeframe.

This case study shows how careful prioritisation and technical expertise can achieve meaningful impact quickly, while still laying the groundwork for future, more iterative improvements.
