The
Challenge

We were entrusted with developing a new website for The START Center for Cancer Research, the sister company to The START Center. Previously operating under their sister company’s website, START sought to elevate both the user experience and overall design. They aimed to ensure that patients and visitors could seamlessly access clinical trials via ClinicalTrials.gov, explore patient stories, discover START’s global locations, and learn about their world-class Principal Investigators and their publications. Additionally, the site needed to highlight START’s affiliated events and feature their blog, known as the ‘Newsroom,’ providing comprehensive, easy-to-navigate resources for all users.

How we helped:

Style Guide

At the time of the project, START lacked a brand style guide or guidelines, and although the goal was to develop these, the timeline didn’t align with their website launch deadline. To address this, we created a streamlined style guide that could be applied across the website, CRMs, email templates, and marketing collateral. The guide established a brand font and color palette, with Inter chosen as the font for its modern, clean, and refreshed look—perfectly aligning with the brand’s desired tone. For the color palette, we retained the original brand colors but strategically incorporated brighter tones to evoke a sense of peace, care, and optimism, softening the gravity of the website’s subject matter.

Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Vestibulum eget pharetra mauris, et dictum tortor. Nam finibus rutrum consectetur.

Website

The scope of START’s new website expanded significantly from a small project to a full-scale corporate site with over 120 pages. Guided by our goal to create a clean and fresh design that evoked peace and care, we leveraged WordPress to quickly build a scalable structure that would grow with the company’s evolving content. To streamline both design and development, we created templates for various sections, ensuring easy content management post-handoff. We also built databases for the blog, events, Principal Investigators, publications, and leadership team. Through API integration with ClinicalTrials.gov, we enhanced accessibility and user engagement. Despite the increased scope, we met START’s tight deadline of a month and a half, launching the site on time. After launch, we conducted training sessions to ensure the team could confidently manage the website’s user-friendly backend.

Absolutely amazing - would recommend to anyone!

“We recently had the pleasure of working with  MAC on our website project, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. They managed to complete our website with an incredibly fast turnaround, even as we significantly expanded the project’s scope beyond the initial plan.

The end result is a beautiful website that we are immensely proud of. Internally, our team is delighted, and externally, we’ve received countless compliments on its design and functionality. MAC’s commitment didn’t end with the website’s launch; they went above and beyond by training our team to ensure we felt comfortable managing the back-end.”
