Project Background
In 2018 a team in Grand Rapids, Michigan set out to reinvent a traditional service - “handicap transportation.” Ride Your Way Founder, Tom Sikkema experienced a personal journey as a cancer survivor and background as a registered nurse that inspired him to revolutionize non-emergency transportation.
Scope of Work
Ride Your way is based in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan at the base of Medical Mile, just three blocks north of the Launch Kit office at 89 Ionia Ave NW. Through mutual friends and social events, Launch Kit Web Designer Mackenzie Broekstra had a conversation with Ride Your Way, Director of Data Analytics, Zachary Meadows. Zach was familiar with Launch Kit's work and the two began to think about what a polished online presence for Ride Your Way would look like.
The Launch Kit and Ride Your Way teams got together and mapped out a website site map that takes into consideration the following target audiences:
People booking rides for their older family member.
Older individuals themselves.
Healthcare provides looking to partner.
We made note of it being a priority to bring team members to the front of the site. This includes dispatchers, leadership team and drivers. The goal here was to bring a warm sense of familiarity to the pickup experience.
After our initial kickoff meeting, Mackenzie Broekstra had what she needed to begin designing Ride Your Way a search engine optimized, mobile friendly, high performance website using Webflow.
