rgentum is the nation’s leading senior living association. As the largest national association dedicated to advancing the senior living industry, Argentum provides resources, major event opportunities, education, advocacy initiatives, and professional development for valued members. WDG partnered with Argentum to reinvigorate their brand with flexible WordPress layouts and an entire content revamp for immediate gains in revenue.
To emphasize Argentum’s prestige as the top resource for senior living advocacy, business development, and events, WDG strategists devised an improved language taxonomy and information architecture. By refocusing the content towards member-based initiatives, WDG helped guide Argentum’s target audiences towards revamped quality resources, public policy strategy, and training and certification.
WDG designers partnered with Argentum executives to execute a new brand direction, implementing a modern, sleek look for the association. For example, Argentum wanted to feature news items on the homepage rather than a stereotypical introductory component, so we created key news integration points in the wireframes.
WDG also provided a comprehensive imagery style guide for Argentum to help establish a consistent visual aesthetics throughout the site and ensure continuity between written and visual content. Our designers created a stable foundation for the new brand, not only on the website but also through Argentum’s newsletter which would reach over ten thousand subscribers.
The WDG technology team created flexible WordPress layouts to facilitate an admin-friendly experience that is readily adaptable for the association’s future growth. WDG also worked with Argentum and partner vendors to implement multiple integrations. To drive Argentum’s member engagement, our technology team implemented the WordPress Events Calendar Pro plugin and created custom signup forms for Argentum’s newsletter, which reaches over ten thousand subscribers. As a member-driven organization, Argentum also required gated content and integration of their Microsoft Dynamics API. WDG developers integrated the API, Google DoubleClick, for their ad service, as well as their member’s-only bill tracking service, Fiscal Note.
Argentum requested WDG’s expertise in establishing the new brand tone and voice, as well as providing content writing for most of the public-facing website. Content strategy and production was preceded by interviews with stakeholders and a full content audit of the original site. WDG then worked with Argentum to establish a content strategy and appropriate brand tone across every page. Our content team leveraged a concentrated effort to research, write, and edit visual and text content which supported Argentum’s mission and engaged target audiences. After content creation and approval, the WDG team built pages by gathering, organizing, and entering all content into the WordPress CMS using the flexible layouts to ensure continuity with the design and brand guidelines.
