Discover how incremental improvements to our web user experience can lead to significant enhancements. We transitioned from an outdated content management system to a modern approach, addressing issues like poor structure and lack of user interactivity. By implementing a centralized content management system, we introduced a cleaner and more maintainable code structure, improved access for screen readers and search engine ranks, and enhanced user engagement with features like commenting and statistics. Ongoing site analysis continues to guide our improvements in user satisfaction.
