Problem

The majority of the Library System of Lancaster County’s websites were built using legacy and proprietary platforms including one static HTML site. There was no consistency in their content management systems. Each had a separate login and each required a different skill set for the administrator.

The sites were outdated and not engaging for the end user. Most were not responsive and difficult to navigate creating frustration for members.

Problem

Dining Out for Life is a fundraising event with the majority of participants holding the event on the same date. The site was crashing on the most important day of the year from the influx of visitors.

There are over 60 participating cities in the US and Canada.

• Site admins needed a way to quickly onboard new cities.
• Cities needed to easily enter all of their information and participating restaurant information.
• Visitors to the site needed to instantly find restaurants near them via desktop browsers and phones.

The site was clunky for both users and visitors. It was not satisfying the need to promote the event and raise as much money as possible to support AIDS service organizations.
