Project Context

Zurita & Zurita is one of Ecuador's leading clinical laboratories, with a network of 22 locations across the country. The project focused on redesigning their website to deliver a more intuitive, modern, and patient-centered experience. The goal was to simplify exam discovery, improve access to essential services, and establish a strong foundation for a broader digital ecosystem connected to future patient tools.

Objective

The website needed to support a wide range of patient needs without creating friction. Information was spread across multiple services, making it necessary to reorganize the experience to reduce complexity, improve navigation, and make high-priority actions easier to find.

Solution

We built a strategy driven by user research and healthcare benchmarking. We redesigned the information architecture, created mid- and high-fidelity wireframes, designed user journeys, and validated key decisions through usability testing. We also designed an email system aligned with the brand's new digital experience.

Lo-Fi Wireframes

Previous Design

The original website featured unintuitive navigation, an inconsistent visual hierarchy, and a content-heavy structure, making it harder for users to quickly find services, exams, and key actions.

The Revamped Experience

The new UI prioritizes a modern, clear, and patient-centered experience. We simplified navigation, strengthened the visual hierarchy, and created a consistent component system that makes it easier to find exams, locations, promotions, and key services. A clean blue-and-teal palette, modular cards, prominent CTAs, and an accessible interface work together to create a more intuitive experience throughout the entire user journey.

Key Features & 
Improvements Implemented

The redesign prioritized clarity, trust, and usability, improving how patients discover services and navigate the website.

Optimized Information Architecture

We reorganized the content structure so patients could find exams, services, and relevant information more efficiently.

Patient-Centered Experience

We designed intuitive journeys that simplify tasks such as exploring exams, reviewing preparation guidelines, and accessing services.

UX Research & Validation

Design decisions were supported by industry benchmarking, iterative wireframes, and usability testing.

Consistent Digital Ecosystem

Beyond the website, we designed email communications that reinforced the brand's new digital experience.

Creating an Intuitive and Efficient Digital Experience

The Re-design Proces

The project began with extensive market research and benchmarking across healthcare platforms to identify improvement opportunities. Based on those insights, we redefined the information architecture, created mid-fidelity wireframes, and evolved them into high-fidelity prototypes. Alongside the design process, we developed user flows and conducted usability testing to validate the experience before implementation.

User Flows

The main user flows were designed to reduce friction across the most common patient actions. Browse and search exams. Review preparation requirements. Request a quote. Book an appointment. Find locations and contact information.

Visual Design

The visual direction was designed to communicate trust, precision, and approachability through a clean interface, clear hierarchy, and consistent components. Content accessibility, thoughtful whitespace, and a contemporary visual identity reinforce Zurita & Zurita's position as a leading healthcare brand.

Conclusion

This project modernized Zurita & Zurita's digital presence by creating a clearer, more intuitive website built to evolve alongside its broader digital ecosystem. By combining research, strategic UX, and user-validated design, we established a strong foundation for a patient-centered experience.
