Epilepsy Research UK
http://www.epilepsyresearch.org.uk
Epilepsy Research UK’s redesigned
website is now more immediate and
approachable, providing better insight
into the medical research being carried
out and the people it is helping. The
most noticeable improvement is to the
pages explaining the causes, diagnosis
and treatment of epilepsy. Once primarily
made up of simple blocks of text, these
now include headlines, charts, diagrams,
images and expandable sections where
you can learn even more. There’s also
lots of news, case studies and info about
research and fundraising, along with an
