Old splash pageRebuilt site

The old site opened on a stock photo and an "Enter" button. The rebuild leads with the association’s own photography, its own crest as a crisp vector, and a membership path one click from anywhere. We also moved it to the association’s own domain and hosting.

A / The problem

  • Splash page with stock photography and an extra click before any content.
  • Logo hosted as a PNG on Squarespace’s servers.
  • Membership, waiver and class information spread across disconnected pages.

B / What we did

  • Crawled and archived the full old site, including images, forms and tables.
  • The association’s own crest vector used unaltered; favicon, touch icon and social image generated from it.
  • New navigation built around membership, classes, events and the people who run it.
  • Production cutover on the association’s own domains, with a rollback plan.

C / Results
