Start with the information architecture
Effective portals begin with an information map: where plan services live, which pages hold plan summaries, and how contribution plans are presented. Grouping by task—documents, confirmations, and help—gives users a predictable path, lowering support load and improving comprehension.
Content design for clarity
Plain language. Replace jargon with short, consistent terms like workplace benefits and employer benefits.
Micro-explanations. Use simple sentences near actions to specify what happens next.
Search and discoverability. Add brief, neutral descriptions so users understand the contents of each section before opening it.
Operational routines
Posting cadence. Keep a schedule for document updates and record the timestamp of each change.
Change logs. Maintain a visible history for edits to contribution plans and plan services pages.
Support routing. Direct technical questions to platform support and procedural questions to HR; advisor platform queries follow a governance path.
Measuring clarity with program insights
Program insights can highlight where users hesitate or which documents are most frequently opened. If searches repeatedly use the same phrase, add a heading or rename a menu. The objective is to reduce friction by refining labels and page structure—not by encouraging actions.
Sign-in flow as a usability anchor
Users should identify the entry point immediately. A standard label resembling vestwell login is a recognizable pattern. After sign-in, users see a neutral dashboard with documents, confirmations, and contribution details placed where they logically belong.
Accessibility and inclusivity
Readable type scales, contrast standards, and keyboard navigation ensure broader access. Multilingual support and alt text help more participants understand the same information without extra assistance.
