Working on the Homethrive website was a rewarding journey, but it came with its fair share of challenges. The project’s goal was to build a platform that seamlessly supports caregivers across different life stages—whether for children, adults, or aging family members—all while being easy to navigate and visually engaging.

One of the main difficulties I encountered was managing multiple user paths. Homethrive serves diverse audiences, including health plans, employers, and individuals, so ensuring the website felt personalized yet cohesive for each group required careful planning. Structuring the site in a way that makes it simple for users to find what they need without overwhelming them was tricky. I had to fine-tune the navigation to keep everything clear and intuitive.

Another challenge was balancing dynamic content with site performance. With so many resource-heavy sections, like guides and tools, I had to optimize the site to maintain fast load times without sacrificing quality. Elementor made the design process smoother, but I still had to dive into custom code at times to achieve specific functionalities that went beyond standard templates.

On the bright side, Elementor gave me the flexibility to create a visually engaging layout while maintaining full control over the design elements. It allowed for quick adjustments based on client feedback, which kept the project on track and minimized back-and-forth delays.

From the client's perspective, they were focused on two things: having a user-friendly platform that can be easily updated in the future and making sure the site clearly communicated their brand’s mission. Keeping those priorities in mind, I made sure the backend was intuitive so their team could manage content effortlessly post-launch.

In the end, the collaboration was a success, and the client was thrilled with the result. They now have a responsive, well-organized site that reflects their caregiving mission while offering a smooth experience for all users.
