The Outcome
After a comprehensive strategy session with the leaders at HikeWest we came up with a plan to deliver a site that met the clubs growing needs. We built a ‘find a club’ and also created forms that would automatically generate listings to be viewed on the front of the website. There was a lot of content to organise and maintain so we focussed making sure the user-experience was logical and easy to follow. The club has made some great traction since launch and continues to grow.
