Introduction: The Ontario RV Dealers Association (ORVDA) approached our team with the exciting challenge of giving their website a complete design revamp. As the leading representative body for RV dealers in Ontario, they sought a modern and user-friendly platform to enhance their online presence, engage their audience effectively, and facilitate seamless interaction with their members and customers.
Challenges Faced:

- Responsive Design: The old website lacked responsiveness, causing compatibility issues on various devices, which in turn led to a decline in mobile traffic and user retention.
- Member Portal Integration: Integrating a comprehensive member portal into the revamped website, ensuring secure login and personalized content access for authorized members, posed a unique challenge.
- Brand Consistency: Balancing the need for a fresh design while maintaining ORVDA’s established brand identity was crucial to preserve its credibility and recognition.
- Content Organization: ORVDA had a vast amount of content, including news, events, and resources. Creating an intuitive content structure that allowed visitors to quickly find relevant information was a significant undertaking.
