Website Refresh & Product Messaging Framework
Fagron Sterile Services (FSS) is a 503B outsourcing facility serving hospitals, pharmacies, and surgical centers across the U.S. The company’s website is one of its most important customer touchpoints, responsible for communicating product availability, manufacturing standards, facilities information, and value to highly specialized clinical audiences. Over time, the website had become fragmented, with inconsistent messaging, outdated product page structures, and limited clarity around Fagron’s differentiators and capabilities.
I led a comprehensive website refresh focused on improving clarity, strengthening messaging, and creating a more intuitive experience for healthcare decision-makers.
The Problem / Opportunity
The existing website had several challenges:
The website appeared too sterile, with white spaces, and lacked the human element to connect with customers
Messaging was unclear in specific website pages and didn’t clearly communicate value. For example, products were difficult to find, failing to move the buyer along to the next stage of the journey
Many pages lacked depth and clear messaging, making it difficult for customers to find the value and understand the brand FSS
Key differentiators, such as facilities, manufacturing processes, and quality standards, were buried deep within the site
Product information lacked structure and didn’t support quick decision-making for time-constrained clinicians and procurement teams
There was no clear narrative tying together who Fagron is, what they do, and why healthcare systems should trust them
The website needed to be redesigned with a strategic messaging hierarchy, stronger UX writing, and a clearer, customer-centered structure.
Solution
I developed a refined messaging framework paired with page-level content strategy, competitive analysis, and collaboration across Product, Quality, and Design teams. Together, we rebuilt major sections of the website — improving product clarity, strengthening the brand narrative, and building pages that were more aligned with what healthcare customers actually need to evaluate a 503B partner.
The refresh included updates to the home page, facility sections, company pages, manufacturing processes, and product pages, as well as the addition of new content areas that supported customer education and sales readiness.
My Thinking
I approached the website refresh by first understanding the customer’s pain points and decision-making process. Healthcare buyers want three things: clarity, trust/quality, and quick access to accurate information and products. Using that as a foundation, I conducted competitive analysis to identify how other 503B facilities communicated availability, regulatory standards, and product details. This helped shape a messaging hierarchy that was simple and led to the development of unique features such as a product search function, quick links and button on the home page, leadership section and more details about facilities and company in general.
I also evaluated SEO opportunities and ensured that the updated copy aligned with relevant search intent. Throughout the project, I partnered with cross-functional teams to validate accuracy and refine the narrative so that every page reflected both clinical precision and customer relevance.
