Legacy Tools

McCormick Center had a couple legacy tools that were used heavily by their users that needed to be integrated into the new website framework. We were able to evaluate the tools and port them over successfully in the new site environment with minimal changes.

Custom Search

We installed an customized a robust sitewide search to give users a simple way to find what they were looking for. We log all search queries and keep track of frequent searches to inform navigational updates.

User Engagement

The library section of the site has the option of making content password protected which engages the user’s further by them signing up to receive access to protected content.

Robust Team

The McCormick Center has over 80 team members so a user-friendly staff listing was an important part of the new site. Team members are categorized by role and given the option of having full biography pages tied to them.

Events

Highlighting events at the center was also a primary goal of the redesign. With the events section user’s can easily gain more information about upcoming events and browse by topic or date.
