I had the privilege to redesign the website for Irish Waterski and Wakeboard Federation, whose mission is to promote, support and expand Towed Watersports on the island of Ireland and to support athletes in competitions both nationally and internationally. The objective was to create a modern, user-friendly platform that effectively communicates the organisation's mission, initiatives, and impact.
Challenges:
The primary challenge was to revamp the outdated website while preserving the organisation's identity and brand. Additionally, ensuring seamless navigation and accessibility across various devices and screen sizes was crucial to enhancing user experience.
Approach:
Collaborating closely with the IrWWF, I developed a comprehensive design strategy focused on simplicity, sustainability, and engagement. The website needs to be updated quite regularly by various team members and so design elements needed to be created with that in mind.
Key Features:
Responsive Design: Implemented a responsive layout to ensure optimal viewing experience across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Intuitive Navigation: Streamlined navigation structure for easy access to information and resources.
Visual Enhancements: Incorporated high-quality images and animated elements to visually showcase the organisation.
Accessibility Improvements: Implemented accessibility features to make the website inclusive and user-friendly for all visitors.
Integration of Social Media: Integrated social media channels to facilitate community engagement and amplify the organisation's reach.
Added a Club finding tool: The ability for user’s to be able to search for a club in their county / area and then find the relevant contact details was important.
Calendar feature: The organisation needed a user friendly way of showcasing the events like competitions,leagues and community focused open days.
