Web design, the craft of designing and developing websites for online platforms, is a growing field.
However, few have seen as much success as Miroslav Tsykalakis and the team at his company, The Design Company, which has worked on several successful projects, including one with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
The design for Miroslav’s latest project, the UK government’s new website, was born out of the frustrations of designing the US VA’s website.
“Our job is to design something that is the best it can be and that is visually compelling, which is a tough job to do,” Mirosz said in an interview with Mashable.
The site, called Veterans of the UK, is an interactive interactive web portal that allows visitors to select the type of service they’d like to see and receive a personalized VA notification when they sign up.
A number of popular services, such as medical, education and job, have been included on the site, but Miroszlav says the VA website is unique in that it is designed specifically for the healthcare system.
For example, you can select from a variety of different ways to view services, including by health status, type of appointment, and even by language, he said.
Veterans of British Columbia (VBBC) is a province in British Columbia that includes the Vancouver Island, which borders the mainland.
In 2017, the province received $7.7 million in federal funding to build the new VA website, according to the VA’s 2016 budget.
The VA announced the launch of the new website in August 2017.
However the VA still had a long way to go before the site was ready to go live.
The website was initially designed with a minimalist design and was developed in collaboration with design firm Digital Domain, who worked on the website for the US Navy, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies.
Miroszik and his team then turned to the world of digital design and began designing a new web design to be used on the VA site.
“We were like, ‘Well, if we do this, we have a really good chance of making it look better, but if we just do the basics of it, it will look like the VA,'” he said in the interview.
The team took a look at other VA web designs that they could compare to the new design and concluded that the results were quite different.
For one, the VA was missing out on a lot of visual appeal from its new design.
The design used an old look for its primary page and its website logo, and it was missing some key elements, including a navigation bar and the ability to add tabs to different sections of the site.
Additionally, the navigation was too busy and there was no space to place links to other VA websites.
Mioszik said that while the design was a bit too busy for VA website visitors, it was a very functional website nonetheless.
“They did an excellent job with the design, but we have to say it was very functional, and the visual elements are very good,” he said of the VA.
The project is now the second-highest-grossing website in the world, according the Forbes.com website, which recently ranked the top 100 web design businesses in the United States.
Miarsz said he’s happy with the success of the website, but the VA has to do a lot more to build a successful web design in the future.
“When you go from the VA to a non-VA website, it’s really hard to do because the UX is very different,” he explained.
The new VA site is still a work in progress, but it’s looking pretty good, Miroszagas said.
“You can see that the VA is a bit more focused on the design than it was before, which I like, and that the website looks very much like a VA website,” he added.
“It’s still very functional and very good.”
Miroslik is the designer behind a number of other VA designs, including the US Army’s Veterans of Afghanistan (VA) website, as well as the US Coast Guard’s Veterans Integrated Services (VAIS).
