The Project:

The problem

Starship is both a dedicated paediatric healthcare service and a major teaching centre. As a result the website needed to cater for two different types of primary audience groups, namely families and healthcare professionals.

Starship Children's Health provides world class healthcare for close to 120,000 children each year and to support this the Starship Foundation needs to raise over $5 million annually.

A key goal was to raise awareness of the valuable service Starship offers, encourage more support from the community, be an information resource for families and healthcare professionals and increase donations by being a key fundraising tool. 

The solution

The design supports Starship's focus on delivering family-centred care in a child friendly environment and comes to life through the use of strong emotive images coupled with positive messages.

Terabyte especially designed the Supporting Starship section to show the many ways people can help.  This is supported by a special place to showcase their inspiring Starship Stars.  

Recognition Wall was created as a place where those who donate online are recognised and this dynamically builds when a donor opts to be acknowledged. 

Healthcare Professionals are a key repeat visit audience and the website features a regulary accessed Directory of Services fed via XML from Healthpoint ServicesDirectory and also embeds Screencast presentations from the weekly Paediatric Updates.

Their Umbraco content management system ensures the site is now future proof and has the ability to grow with their needs over time.  

The result

Starship are thrilled with their new website and they now have a beautiful and engaging online presence.  As a credible resource for children's health, the new website communicates Starship's integral role in our community. 

In the first month of going live there was a 50% reduction in bounce rate.  The page views, pages per visit and average time on site have all increased over 100%.

"The Terabyte team have made an exceptional contribution to our organisation and our purpose of enabling every child in New Zealand access to world-leading healthcare and experiences.  Starship Foundation relies heavily on the goodwill of the public and business to continue our consistently high level of support for our national children's hospital.  It's therefore crucial our supporters have a friendly and accessible environment to get to know us and be inspired to help Starship patients and families across the country.  Our site had the extra challenge to deliver on the needs of patients and families coming to Starship for the first time and for medical professionals seeking information on paediatric care… a big call, but Terabyte have come up with the goods (and then some)... thanks Terabyte for your outstanding work to deliver us a world-class online experience for our supporters and stakeholders."
