Responsive redevelopment for Karelia Health
December 19, 2012
We're really excited to have launched a new web site for Karelia Health! They're a great local company that specializes in helping companies get control of rising healthcare costs.
Rather than the traditional symptom management and “there's a pill for that” approach to medicine, they empower people to make lasting changes in their lives by focusing on lifestyle changes and teaching them the tools to make those changes. The result is healthier employees and a decrease in the incidence of chronic disease.
Great stuff. The world needs more people like this...
The site was designed by Kameron Mele over at Ovation Benefits; we took her work and built a responsive, mobile-friendly web site that will scale as Karelia grows. Judging by what we've seen so far, they certainly will.
