Tosemjaz.net is the largest and oldest online youth counselling service in Slovenia. Over more than twenty years of its operation, it has received several awards and has been recognised as a best practice example both in Slovenia and elsewhere. Innovatif has been taking care of the visibility of the To sem jaz programme since its very beginnings, which includes the development and design of its visual identity, website, as well as printed and promotional materials for both young people and professionals. The last comprehensive website redesign was done with the aim of the website continuing to carry out its mission as well as before, to make the online counselling service even more user-friendly through modern tools and to remain relevant for the future generations of young people.

A new content structure

The primary function of the tosemjaz.net website is an online counselling service that is updated content- and technology-wise, allowing young people to access professional advice quickly and anonymously. However, another important source of informative content on the website are various articles. For the first time, the website now combines counselling services with other kinds of informative and support content on a single platform, which has enabled a new web page editing system. In terms of its content, the website is completely adapted to the interaction with users, which is clear from the navigation structure to start with.

A secure and anonymous space for young people

Since security and anonymity are extremely important to users, the thing that remains crucial is for the website to provide them with a high level of operational security and personal data protection. A system for sending signup-based e-mails with information that might be of interest to users has also been set up. The website is adapted for use on various devices and is also suitable for users with special needs.

User-friendly ways to the right kind of advice

Other website features now available to users are various new tools relevant to the target group and suitable for addressing users' issues, including a tool that allows a live chat with an expert and a short questionnaire, based on which users can quickly get to the right kind of content and form of advice. Another important new feature is the fact that the keywords related to urgent topics are now specifically marked in the content editing system. This allows website visitors that are in urgent need of help to get an emergency contact immediately.

Eye-catching design for a pleasant online environment

The website, which features a refreshed design, updated content paired with all sorts of up-to-date information and state-of-the-art technology, is now even more user-friendly. The visual presentation, which has evolved over the years in step with the times, has remained recognisable, pleasant, playful and trendy. Our aim was to make it even more appealing to the target group by using various animations, GIFs and other graphic elements that youths are used to seeing daily on different channels. The shapes change, passing into one another, much like the youths' emotions.
