Erie Sports Hall of Fame
ROLE:
Branding, Web Design, Icon Design
The new website provided an online presence for nearly 400 athletes in the Hall of Fame and made it a possible to filter through inductees by year, sport, level played, or role. The site also boasted other features useful to non-profits, such as making it a place to gather donations & membership fees, being able to to list board members, and highlighting scholarships for student athletes.
CUSTOM ICONS
Custom icons were created to represent each sport, making the search page more visual, adding an easily-identifiable indicator for the athletes on the UI cards, and providing opportunity to add a small, custom element to the Hall of Fame brand.
COLLECTION OF INDUCTEES
With there being close to 30 years of inductees, a robust search and filtering system was created to make this an immersive experience for the user and provided opportunity to show off many of the inductees from further back as well as inductees that would be added in the future.
INDUCTEE CARDS
The design for the cards made the most important information able to be displayed simply on top and assisted in helping many of the older photos feel like they belonged with the athletes of the newer era.
INDUCTEE BIOS
The extensive library of bios was housed on the inductees page, which had search filters for users to browse through the hall of fame's 30+ year history.
THE PRESTIGE OF THE HALL OF FAME
Other pages that were not centered around the showcase of inductees were designed to drive users to sign up for an Erie Sports Hall of Fame membership. The history and prestige of the brand was the biggest factor in getting users interested in involvement with the organization.
