Star Assessment: 4.5 stars
ASSESSMENT:
• The Biligual Health Aide Services (BHAS) website is a section within the DOH CDPHD website and designed using it’s brand template, colors, illustration/graphics, type style. This Division has a very clear brand, consistently applied across all programs that fall under it. The CDPHD template is clean, modern and incorporates graphical Hawaiian plants that are cultrually important/medicinal. The colors, plant illustrations and type selection are warm and comforting—very appropriate when encouraging behavioral change for a healthy lifestyle and discussing sensitive medical issues such as cancer/asthma/diabetes/heart disease/physical activity & nutrition/tobacco.
• There is a clear hierarchy in the typography. The template clearly defines main headers, display type in color boxes, secondary headers/titles, body copy, bold and italic body styles and bullet points for easy readability.
• The site incorporates approporiate imagery throughout the site to keep the viewer engaged. Similar photo styles/templates are used in both the branded Strategic Reports/Plans and website.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Maybe can add in an appropriate photo every now and then to keep things fresh for return viewers. It tells them you are actively updating your site and keeping things current.
