The Client

Versa Vascular is an innovator in medical technology, pioneering a heart valve repair solution that is mechanically driven and does not rely on robotics. Their catheter-based device is deployed through the femoral vein and implants directly into the heart. As a new company spun out of parent company Occam Labs, Versa Vascular needed a brand-new digital presence to reflect their groundbreaking work in the cardiovascular space. Headquartered in Santa Cruz, CA, the team turned to us after a successful collaboration on the Occam Labs website.

The Challenge

As a new company, Versa Vascular lacked a website and any established visual identity. Their primary goal was to launch a compelling and functional web presence that communicated their unique product in a clear, engaging way. The new site needed to differentiate Versa from other medical device companies while also complementing the design language of their parent company, Occam Labs.

With no existing digital assets or content, the project began from scratch. One of the main challenges was building a full site with limited imagery and technical information available at the start. Additionally, the site needed to be scalable for future content and easy for the client to manage internally after launch.

The Solution

We partnered closely with Versa Vascular to define a modern, minimal, and technically refined web experience from the ground up. Through regular milestone meetings and ongoing collaboration, we ensured the site would effectively communicate the company’s mission, showcase their product, and support key business needs such as job recruitment.

We delivered a custom designed and developed website featuring four original graphics that visually explain the medical device and its function within the heart. The user experience was carefully crafted to feel intuitive, accessible, and forward-looking to position Versa Vascular as an innovator in its field.

UX/UI Design

With no prior site or design system, we built Versa Vascular’s entire visual identity from scratch. We implemented a new color palette, typography system, button styles, form designs, and navigation patterns. The navigation was designed to be simple and effective for both desktop and mobile users.

We also created a system for displaying product and anatomical graphics that help tell the Versa Vascular story visually. Four custom illustrations show how the device functions inside the heart, helping visitors quickly grasp its impact and innovation.

The result is a high-end design that is both informative and engaging, enabling users to quickly understand the company’s offering while building trust and credibility.

Web Development

We developed a lightweight, high-performance site that could scale with Versa Vascular’s growth. The site includes a custom component library to make it easy for their internal team to add new pages or content in the future.

Despite limited content at launch, we used thoughtful design and layout techniques to ensure every page felt complete and impactful. While no third-party integrations were required, the site was optimized for performance using Google Lighthouse benchmarks and is fully responsive across all device types.

Job openings were also a key focus area, with a dedicated section of the site built to support ongoing recruiting efforts.

Project Summary

With a completely custom website and visual identity, Versa Vascular is now well-positioned to grow its digital presence and support its go-to-market strategy. The new site not only establishes trust with stakeholders and partners but also functions as a powerful recruitment and brand-awareness tool.

By blending strong UI/UX with scalable development practices, we helped Versa Vascular launch a high-impact web presence that aligns with their vision and sets the stage for future innovation.
