ALD Connect is a global non-profit dedicated to improving health outcomes for individuals affected by adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)—a rare, progressive genetic disease that impacts the nervous system and adrenal glands. With a mission to empower patients, support families, connect researchers, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs, ALD Connect plays a crucial role in advocacy, education, and research funding for the ALD community.
Creating a website for a rare disease nonprofit requires more than just great design—it demands a deep understanding of multiple audience needs, seamless functionality, and a platform that can drive real-world impact. At Bubbly Consulting, we brought all of this together in a fully bespoke website.
We built the website from the ground up, ensuring it was:
- Accessible: A user-friendly experience for patients, caregivers, and medical professionals alike.
- Informative & Educational: Providing up-to-date research, clinical trial information, and ALD resources.
- Engaging & Inspiring: Encouraging action, whether through donations, community involvement, or participation in research.
The website also needed to balance multiple audiences—patients and families, clinicians, researchers, and donors—each with unique needs. Our strategy focused on clear navigation and audience segmentation, ensuring that every visitor could quickly find relevant information and take action.
To achieve this, we designed and developed a fully custom website tailored to ALD Connect’s mission, focusing on streamlined, engaging design, and accessible content. We integrated Bloomerang, a leading donor management system, and an events calendar. We created a searchable video resource library, allowing users to access educational content with ease, an cross-linked relevant videos to other areas of the site.
The new ALD Connect website has been a game-changer for the organisation, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from the ALD staff and community.
For ALD Connect, this website isn’t just an online presence—it’s a powerful tool for advocacy, fundraising, and advancing ALD research. We are incredibly proud to have played a role in delivering a platform that will continue to drive awareness, connect communities, and accelerate research progress.
