Project Description

Project Description

Journey On guides people through the logistical and emotional hardships of the death of a loved one, so that you’re empowered to make informed decisions during times of emotional distress and can finally begin to heal. Journey on is a series of personalized checklists and guided tools to help people navigate the death of a loved one, housed in an easily accessible online resource. Users can make an account and securely save guides, store information, and share them with others via joint accounts. We offer a linked timeline management tool to help stay on top of time-sensitive plans and figure out what comes next. Users can also purchase spirited merchandise and organizational supplies through our online store or attend locally organized Journey On events to bring the online experience offline.

A collection of pennants and wall decorations on a white wall. The pennants display various messages, including “STAY IN HIGH SPIRITS,” “GET A LIFE OR DIE TRYING,” “JOURNEY ON,” “DEATH SCOUT,” “FUTURE CORPSE,” and “REST IN PIECES.” A white grid-patterned board holds “LIVE LIKE YOU’RE DYIN’!” and “KEEP ON JOURNEYING ON.” A potted plant, candles, a wooden “A,” and decorative metal objects are arranged on a white surface.

A collage of nine black and white photographs on a teal background. The photos depict various scenes, including martial arts demonstrations, a presentation banner, a man with a mustache, a group of people in a grassy area, a pyramid, a man in a suit, a group of people in a building, and a man in a light-colored shirt and dark pants.

A laptop screen displays a pre-death checklist titled “What would Philip like included in his service?” The checklist includes options such as “VISITATION,” “RELIGIOUS CEREMONY,” “MILITARY HONORS,” “SPEAKERS,” “READINGS/PRAYERS,” “SONGS/MUSIC,” “FLOWERS,” “NEHORICAL ACT,” and “OTHER.” The laptop rests on a light-colored surface against a teal background.

Three screenshots showcase the Journey On website design. The leftmost screenshot displays a tablet displaying the website’s navigation and content. The center screenshot highlights the Survival Guides section with text and icons. The rightmost screenshot presents the Track Progress section with progress indicators and navigation options.

Nine circular white badges with colorful icons and text are arranged on a red-orange background. The badges feature various symbols including a green book, a toolkit, a purple backpack, a tent, a clipboard, a map, a notebook, a campfire, and a boot. Each badge includes the text "GUIDING YOU STEP BY STEP," "EMERGENCY TOOL KIT," "MAKING PREPARATIONS," "TOOLS TO HELP GUIDE YOU," "TAKING THE FIRST STEP," "DEATH SURVIVAL GUIDE," "DEATH COMPANION GUIDE," "BE PREPARED, PLAN EARLY," "WE'RE HERE TO GUIDE YOU," and "NAVIGATING THE WILD JOURNEY ON."
