CHEO Dream of a Lifetime

Project Summary

The original Dream of a Lifetime website had an outdated design, sub-optimal user experience, and slow page loading. The website needed to be developed in three phases. The first to build awareness about the lottery, the second to push ticket sales, and the third to announce winners. Each phase had strict deadlines that could not be missed.

Solutions provided

We worked closely with Nexus Digital to provide the following solutions:
  1. Project Planning: Prepared a three phase project plan with Nexus Digital and the client: 1- build awareness, 2- encourage people to buy tickets, 3- closing of contest and announcement of winners.
  2. Information Architecture: Worked closely with Nexus Digital and our client's site map to develop an architecture solution.
  3. User experience/interface: Updated a variety of elements on the client's website, such as the main navigation, in order to make the website more user friendly.
  4. SEO: Performed on page optimizations for the website's homepage and trained the client on best on page SEO practices.
  5. Web Development: Developed the website using Gatsby to improve the site speed, and delivered the development within the three phases.

Results achieved

•     We were able to meet the strict deadlines of phase 1 and 2
•     Ticket sales surpassed the first day of the lottery last year
•     The website had 15,000 visitors the first day of the website launch
•     The virtual tour had 17,000 visits on the first day of it's launch
•     Website traffic is up 30% over last year
