Website Design and Development
Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre
The Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH), situated in Barrie, Ontario, is the largest health facility in North Simcoe Muskoka. RVH delivers excellent care and offers specialized services and technologies that are unique to the area. Sandbox collaborated with RVH to create an advanced multi-site installation using the WordPress Content Management System (CMS), which facilitates shared functionality between the main site and microsites. WordPress enables website administrators to manage a wide range of content easily and update information that frequently changes. Furthermore, the new site integrated the RVH physician portal into the main website, allowing physicians to log in and access sensitive information for patient referrals that is not public. Sandbox ensured that the new RVH website is compatible with various devices and web browsers to enhance accessibility for all visitors, staff, and patients. Additionally, the website was enhanced to better support individuals with impairments or disabilities by complying with AODA standards. Several features were introduced to improve the organization of information on the site. For example, a concierge menu and a mega menu work together to ensure that all information is readily accessible with minimal clicks. Overall, the revamped website enhances wayfinding at RVH and offers a smooth user experience for staff, patients, and visitors. It serves as a vital tool in promoting programs, access for patients and visitors, and physician information, thus decreasing the need for printed materials.
