A Site That Reflects Julie
Julie A. Fast has spent decades writing and speaking about bipolar disorder and related mental health conditions. She’s the bestselling author of Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder, Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder and Getting It Done When You’re Depressed. She’s also written for Psychology Today and bp Magazine, and was the original consultant for Claire Danes’s character on Homeland.
Julie had a clear vision for her website. She wanted it to feel colourful and a little whimsical, while still being respectful of a serious subject. Working with Julie, her project manager and graphic designer, we brought her ideas, colours and graphics together into a website that felt like her.
Different Visitors, Different Starting Points
What makes this site especially interesting is the Audiences menu. People living with bipolar disorder can start with information intended for them, while family members, caregivers, partners and coparents have their own sections. There are also paths for healthcare professionals, researchers and people looking to interview Julie.
Beyond those audience pages, the website brings together her books, articles, interviews, research and workshop information. It gives visitors a way to explore her work based on what brought them there, whether they’re looking for resources for themselves or trying to better understand what someone they love is experiencing.
