A new digital experience for one of the oldest sport governing bodies in the U.S.
Overview
I partnered with SunnyByte, a tech agency, to lead UX and design for the project. Through stakeholder interviews, we identified key friction points and aligned on the most impactful improvements. The project involved designing and building a new homepage framework.
The Audience
Targeted towards polo enthusiasts, equestrian fans, luxury lifestyle consumers, and general sports fans.
The Problem
The site had poor user engagement, a high bounce rate, and lacked relevant content for its diverse audience.
The Solution
We developed a flexible framework with key global interactions like improved navigation, search, member portal access, and personalized notifications. The design included new content modules, components, and cards, along with modern typography, color, and media enhancements.
The Impact
The redesign increased new visitors by over 50% and returning visitors by 40%, creating a more engaging and accessible user experience.
