The Illinois Child Care Bureau (ICCB) provides education to home day care providers around food safety. They administer training and quizzes. Whenever a website is centered around childcare, it’s difficult to strike the right balance of being playful and fun without coming across as cartoonish.
ICCB’s previous site did not find that balance. Anthropomorphic apples and bananas would greet you with a smile and a wave. Beyond that, the site was not truly responsive for mobile and the maintenance was cumbersome.
With the help of TwentySix Creative, we redesigned the site with a new logo, joyful colors, and icons and motion without appearing childish. We retained the functionality of quizzes, multilingual content, and recipes in the new design while cleaning up the back end code.
