The Challenge
Check My Mole is a health tech platform built around a serious mission: saving lives through skin cancer education, early detection, and awareness. Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide — and one of the most preventable. The platform pairs a content-rich website with a dedicated mobile app available in 80 languages, giving people everywhere the tools to monitor their skin health and catch warning signs early.
The challenge here was scale and complexity. This was not a simple brochure site — it was a large, multi-page health platform covering skin cancer types, treatments, prevention guides, sunscreen and sun protection resources, the ABCDE mole detection method, early detection checklists, and a full blog. On top of that, the site needed to integrate seamlessly with the Check My Mole app and load fast across every page despite the volume of content. In health tech, a slow or confusing website costs lives — not just conversions.
What I Built
A large-scale health platform built on WordPress — structured around clarity, trust, and speed. Every page was built to communicate potentially life-saving information in a way that is easy to understand, easy to navigate, and fast to load — regardless of how many pages the site contains.
The site covers a significant amount of ground: dedicated pages for Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma, and Oral Cancer. Separate sections for Treatments, Prevention, Early Detection, Sunscreen and Sun Protection, Working Outdoors, and Sun-Protective Clothing. A full Resources hub with a blog, and a dedicated page for the Check My Mole App. Organising this volume of content into a navigable, user-friendly structure was the core design challenge — and getting it right meant people could actually find what they needed quickly.
The Check My Mole app is available in 80 languages and sits at the centre of the platform's mission. I integrated the app seamlessly into the website — with a dedicated app page, clear download pathways, and app-focused CTAs throughout the site driving users toward the tool that can actually help them assess their skin health. The website and app work as one connected experience.
A large content site with many pages is a performance challenge by default. I optimised the entire WordPress build for speed — compressed assets, clean code, and fast load times across every page regardless of content volume. In a health context where users may be anxious and looking for information quickly, a slow page is not an option.
A platform built to save lives — fast, clear, and accessible in 80 languages.
Check My Mole now has a fully structured, fast-loading health platform that matches the scale of its mission. The site handles a large volume of pages without sacrificing speed, integrates cleanly with a mobile app available in 80 languages, and gives users a clear path from awareness to action — whether that is downloading the app, reading about skin cancer types, or learning how to detect warning signs early. When the subject matter is this serious, the execution has to match.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide — but it is almost entirely preventable. Building this platform felt like work that actually mattered.
