The problem: A website that felt abandoned

Jargon-heavy pages, outdated imagery, and a homepage still anchored to Hurricane Sandy gave the impression that the organization is static outside of occasional event updates. The organization's progress has evolved, but the website just stopped keeping up. That gap was costing Resilient Red Hook on multiple fronts, and every visitor type was leaving with a different version of the same misunderstanding.

The solution:

Our team conducted 8 remote moderated user tests and analyzed our findings to come up with four key recommendations:
Recommendation #1: Restructure the membership tier information
Recommendation #2: Include membership information throughout the checkout process
Recommendation #3: Reorganize the navigation bar
Recommendation #4: Redesign the 'Select Different Events' section
