Need & Impact
The current version of the Omaha Sports Commission website was completed in 2017. The website is due for a redesign and an update within the Squarespace platform. Since 2017, there have been many advances in technology and available features. In addition, the OSC organization and brand have evolved, creating the need for a fresh look, revised website structure and strategy.
An updated and redesigned website for the Omaha Sports Commission is essential for enhancing user engagement and improving the overall online experience for visitors and stakeholders. New strategies can help showcase the organization's events, initiatives, and resources, making it easier for users to find relevant information and connect with the commission's offerings. By streamlining navigation and incorporating fresh design elements, the website can strengthen the brand while attracting a broader audience. Additionally, an optimized site can bolster digital marketing efforts, driving increased participation in events and generating greater community support.

Stages & Deliverables
Chisel proposes the following stages, activities and deliverables for the Omaha Sports Commission Website Project.
-
We want to ensure that your website's look, purpose and functionality align with who you are and who you want to connect with. Through project conversations and an online survey, we'll work to establish a solid strategy that leads to relevance, trust and results. We'll explore the landscape so we can differentiate you from the rest, while appealing and connecting to your target audience.

Takeaways Summary
-
After we are on the same page with the discovery, it's time to explore what's possible within our parameters. 2-3 concepts will be created that include a fresh approach and visual strategy. These will be presented within the website framework so you can get a sense for the concepts in action. Then we can refine the direction that inspires you the most.

Now it's time to build the Squarespace website. The initial iteration will be a loose sketch of the final product with the development of structure and the application of visual strategies. We'll also determine the best approaches for integrating functionality and technology. We can establish several checkpoints to ensure we stay aligned and on target. As we move along, everything will be refined and details will be addressed, including final copy, illustration, photography and technology integration.

Content Development & Placement
Implementation of Plugins
Optimization for Common Devices
Fine-tuning & Quality Control
-
After the website is launched, we'll continue to make adjustments as needed to ensure the user experience is received as planned. Chisel will provide a training session that explains the ins and outs of the website and its functionality. Even with Squarespace experience, this will be necessary because of the code and plugins required to meet the objectives for the project.

Continued Support (2 months after completion)
