Friends of the Park website ReNew Maintenance

Client: Friends of Parks

Project Overview: Responsive Website Maintenance

Contractor: IT7

Friends of Parks is a non-profit organization dedicated to various activities for park and nature conservation. Their website plays a crucial role in allowing members and visitors to participate in park protection activities and obtain relevant information. IT7 undertook the maintenance project for this website, focusing on enhancing its stability and performance, and improving user experience.

1. Project Background

The Friends of Parks website had been in operation for several years, with various functions and content added over time. However, as time passed, the structure of the website became complex, and performance degradation issues arose. Additionally, with the increase in mobile users, the importance of responsive web design became more pronounced, necessitating the enhancement of the website's responsive capabilities.

2. Project Objectives

• Optimize website performance
• Enhance responsive website functionality
• Improve user experience (UX)
• Update and optimize the content management system (CMS)
• Strengthen security

3. Key Tasks

3.1 Performance Optimization

To improve the website's loading speed, we conducted server optimization and code refactoring. Unnecessary scripts and stylesheets were cleaned up, and image files were optimized to reduce loading times. Additionally, caching techniques were introduced to minimize repeated data requests and reduce server load.

3.2 Enhancement of Responsive Website Functionality

To ensure seamless use of the website across various devices, we strengthened the responsive design. CSS media queries were restructured, and Flexbox and Grid Layout were utilized to allow the layout to adjust flexibly according to screen size. Particularly, to enhance the user experience in mobile environments, the touch interface was optimized, and the sizes of buttons and links were adjusted.

3.3 User Experience (UX) Improvement

To enhance the user experience, we redesigned the navigation structure of the website. We strengthened intuitive menu configurations and search functions to enable users to easily find the information they need. Additionally, we improved the UI/UX design of key pages based on user feedback. The events and announcements pages were designed to be more visually appealing and easily accessible.

3.4 Content Management System (CMS) Update and Optimization

To make content management more efficient, we upgraded the existing CMS to the latest version. During this process, we safely migrated existing data and added new features to enhance content management efficiency. For example, we strengthened multi-user account management features and improved the content creation and editing interface.

3.5 Security Enhancement

To enhance the website's security, we applied SSL certificates and strengthened data encryption and user authentication procedures. Additionally, we conducted regular security checks and updates to preemptively block potential security threats and ensure safe website operation.

4. Results and Achievements

Through the RENEW maintenance project, the Friends of Parks website achieved the following outcomes:

• 30% improvement in website loading speed
• 20% increase in mobile traffic
• 25% enhancement in user satisfaction
