Headway Idea Labs
Accessibilty. Web Redesign.
Project Summary
Overview
Headway Idea Labs is a biotech company that provides lab space, mentorship, and business support to early-stage biotech startups. Their previous website did not reflect the innovative and professional nature of their work. The layout was outdated, the messaging was unclear, and the site did not offer a smooth user experience—especially for mobile users or startup founders looking for quick, actionable information.
