The Challenge
Ontario Sailing came to Smashing Pixels with an outdated website and lacking an online presence. Their goal was to have a website that would provide visitors with information about their services, help new members find the right direction and be easily navigable for all users. In order to facilitate navigation, we introduced a built-in directory that was easy for visitors to use.
The Process
We met with the Ontario Sailing team to discuss their needs. After reviewing the site together it was agreed that it was hard to navigate and lacked a strong user experience. It was also identified that the mobile version of the site needed a lot of attention. We presented the team at Ontario Sailing with a number of options to strengthen the user experience of the site. This resulted in creating a new site that showcased a built-in directory for the site, help users navigate current events, and discover upcoming news.
The Solution
Smashing Pixels worked closely with the Ontario Sailing team to design the site they requested. This included UX enhancements and custom imagery through the website, as well as a directory for quick navigation by users. Now, Ontario Sailing can continue championing the sport of sailing, helping fellow sailors flourish and grow within the sport.
“I started working with Trevor and his team on a website re-design project last year, and have enjoyed collaborating with them. Their professionalism, timeliness and creative ideas have helped us achieve our web design goals.”
