Building a product customization & e-com platform

The MedicAlert Foundation, established in 1956, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emergency medical information services through personalized medical IDs. Over time, their website had become outdated, both in design and functionality, making it less effective in conveying their mission and engaging users.

XDS collaborated with MedicAlert to overhaul their website, focusing on enhancing user experience, modernizing the design, and improving search engine performance.
