Case Study: Ministry of Social Development improves family violence support access with Somar Digital

Ministry of Social Development deploys reusable Service Finder across 2 websites with Somar Digital

The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) partnered with Somar Digital for website development to address the challenge of creating a suite of accessible, user-friendly online resources for people affected by family violence in New Zealand. Each website had a specific audience, from individuals seeking help to those wanting to change their behavior, and required a high level of collaboration with design partners to meet strict budgetary and UX standards.

Somar Digital developed multiple distinct websites and a reusable Service Finder Tool, ensuring all content was accessible and available in both English and te reo Māori. The solution involved continuous iteration based on user research, resulting in engaging digital products that provide critical, easy-to-find information and support. The partnership's success demonstrates Somar Digital's ability to deliver complex projects that meet the Ministry of Social Development's goals for community impact.
