What Is Insulation Help?
Insulation Help is a free digital platform that enables UK homeowners and tenants to check their eligibility for government-backed insulation schemes. Built with accessibility, clarity, and trust at its core, the application helps users:
-
Determine if they qualify for ECO4 or similar grants
-
Understand what home upgrades are available
-
Connect with certified energy assessors
-
View potential energy savings before applying
Behind its simplicity lies a powerful backend designed to manage eligibility logic, geo-data queries, and evolving policy requirements.
What the Judges Recognised
The Web Excellence Awards honour standout web projects that blend technical performance with meaningful user engagement. Here’s what set Insulation Help apart:
✅ Purpose-Driven Design: The platform is built around user clarity—cutting through policy jargon to deliver direct, easy-to-read guidance.
✅ Responsive, Accessible UX: Mobile-first UI built with Tailwind CSS and Next.js, ensuring compliance with accessibility best practices.
✅ Smart Data Architecture: Dynamic content and eligibility outcomes are powered by a secure backend built on FastAPI, with scalable hosting via Azure.
✅ Agile Delivery: We delivered iteratively with constant feedback from stakeholders in energy advice and local authority sectors.
Our Mission: Simplicity That Scales
At High Digital, we specialise in transforming complex systems into elegant user experiences. With Insulation Help, our aim was to create a bridge between policy and people. Instead of presenting static content, we developed:
-
A dynamic data rules engine for grant eligibility
-
A postcode-checker for geo-targeted guidance
-
A clean, linear journey from information to action
-
Admin tools for real-time content management
This project is a clear example of what’s possible when human-centred design meets robust engineering.
