The brand aims to redefine the physical therapy experience by prioritizing individualized treatment, commitment to patients, and evidence-based practice.
The Challenge
Maxwell, the owner of Maxwell Physical Therapy, approached me with a clear vision: elevate the practice’s brand and digital presence to reflect their patient-first approach and innovative therapies. However, their existing branding and website fell short of conveying the professional and personalized care they provided. The goal was to create a modern, unified identity and a user-friendly digital platform that established Maxwell Physical Therapy as a leader in their field.
A VISION OF TRANSFORMATION
A VISION OF TRANSFORMATION
As the sole creative on this project, my mission was to build a brand and digital presence that reflected Maxwell’s commitment to healing, innovation, and trust. By combining strategic branding with intuitive web design and development, I created a system that empowered Maxwell to connect with patients and grow their practice.
Brand Strategy
The brand's core values of patient commitment, teamwork, evidence-based practice, dedication, and passion underpin its mission to provide the best physical therapy care in the area, never to be publicly owned, and to restore respect to the profession of physical therapy.
Maxwell Physical Therapy's target audience spans across demographics and includes pediatric patients with gross motor delays, medical diagnoses, and birth defects, as well as adults seeking neurological rehabilitation or orthopedic/sports medicine treatments.
What sets Maxwell Physical Therapy apart from its competitors is its commitment to one-on-one sessions with licensed physical therapists, no productivity expectations, and the emphasis on patient outcomes over profits. Additionally, Maxwell's background as a treating academic and educator at Northwestern University adds credibility to the brand's expertise.
In terms of aesthetic preferences, the brand draws inspiration from iconic brands like Disney, Nike, and Northwestern Medicine, aiming for a simple yet memorable logo and a color palette featuring purple, orange, and blue.
Ultimately, Maxwell Physical Therapy seeks to embody its tagline, "Movement is Medicine," offering personalized physical therapy treatments that prioritize the well-being and mobility of each patient.
Problem
Maxwell Physical Therapy lacks a cohesive brand identity and does not have an online presence through a dedicated website. Without a defined brand strategy or digital platform, Maxwell struggles to establish its presence in the competitive physical therapy landscape and effectively communicate its unique value proposition to potential clients. This absence hampers Maxwell's ability to reach and engage with its target audience, limiting opportunities for brand recognition, patient acquisition, and growth.
Solution
To address these challenges and capitalize on the opportunities for growth, Maxwell Physical Therapy needs to develop a comprehensive brand strategy and establish an online presence through a professional website.

Beginning with a deep dive into the site map, I strategically mapped out each page, considering the hierarchy of content, user flow, and key interactive elements.
