Web Design (UI/UX)

College of Veterians of Ontario

CVO approached us to re-design and re-build their website. Built with Kentico 8, ten years ago, the site had outgrown its initial build and had become increasingly difficult to manage and maintain. Going into the project, CVO also had a new brand and a new vision for their website that included a user centric approach that supported the goals of their users and organization. Goals Design and build a new website with the new CVO brand Improve navigation and search (information architecture) and user experience Update the CMS from Kentico 8 to the latest version of Kentico

What was the main challenge in this project?

The CVO website’s navigation system and site search were major pain points for users and administrators. The site relied heavily on its menu for navigation purposes and many pages had a secondary navigation that required a user to scroll down the page to view the entire menu. This combined with a site search that often gave the wrong results made it exceedingly difficult to find things on the site.

What was your solution or approach?

What was the outcome or impact for the client?

The new CVO website is an overwhelming success! Users and administrators are finding the website easy to navigate and the restructuring of content and visual approach to design has cemented the website as the focal point of the college’s new vision and brand. The upgrade to Kentico 13 has been well received by content editors citing it as both intuitive and effective in making content editing easy and even fun!
