Website Re-design : Vista Living Care

With 3 memory care homes across New Mexico, Vista Living Care is an incredible resource for those living with dementia as well as their families. We had already been working with VLC for more than 3 years on marketing and social media when we took on the project of re-designing their website.

​When pandemic times made family visits difficult, Luke Nachtrab, owner, asked us for a website that would be better suited to the changing needs of his business and would help keep families a close part of the living communities. The transition to Kartra meant we could update the site, reorganize content, and create new spaces for VLC's activities.

HOME
With an updated navigation bar and a new icon menu, we focused on making sure the new site would be easy to navigate for any first-time visitor, showing them everything they could expect to find on the site, in one place. 

NEW 
Some of the new pages and spaces we created were the FAQ page, a space for Testimonials, a running Blog, an Events page, a Careers Page AND the most exciting: A FAMILY PORTAL!

Family Portal
The family portal was a feature that came later, after we had launched the new website. Luke wanted a private platform that family caregivers could access for the latest updates on life in the homes. This online community is now the home of important resources, announcements, and even social media content. Many of their families had complained that they could not access social media content posted by VLC because they did not have a social media account, so we made all VLC channels easy to view, even without an account.

Working on this site was a new experience for us as we were working with Kartra for the first time. It took a lot of learning at first, but as we continue to work with this platform, it has allowed us to do so much more for Vista Living Care!
