Setting New Standards: Building the NHS Swap & Stop Website for Accessible, User-Centric Tobacco Dependency Support

The NHS Swap & Stop initiative by Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board sought a user-centric website to support their tobacco dependence treatment program. Aiming to enhance experiences in Smokefree hospitals and offer safer alternatives for those not ready to quit, the project required a platform that effectively catered to Patients, Visitors, Staff, and

Parents-to-be. Our solution was a streamlined website with intuitively designed sections for each target audience, ensuring immediate access to relevant information through a well-organised navigation system and engaging calls to action. We implemented a unique colour scheme for each user group to facilitate easy navigation and identification, so they can find the information relevant to them.

The site is enriched with tailored advice, support resources, and compelling testimonials from individuals who successfully quit smoking, serving as powerful motivation for visitors.

Recognising the importance of inclusivity, we prioritised full accessibility to accommodate users of all abilities, establishing the website as a comprehensive information hub for quitting resources.
Built within the website is the ability to:

  • Disable Flashes
  • Mark Headings
  • Change Background Colour
  • Zoom Out
  • Zoom In
  • Decrease Font
  • Increase Font
  • Readable Font
  • Bright Contract
  • Dark Contrast
  • Underline Links
  • Mark Links
  • All Functionality available via Keyboard
  • Ability to add Alt Text

 

 

Our approach not only fulfilled but exceeded the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board’s requirements, particularly in accessibility, setting a new standard for “Stop Smoking” websites across the nation. The project exemplifies our commitment to creating impactful, user-focused, and universally accessible digital solutions.
