Tracking Club of Central Florida

The Design Process

Existing website

A members site to promote the AKC sport of tracking. The existing site was outdated and had too many pages with not a lot of content. Condensing and organizing the pages made the site easier for the users to navigate to the information.

Research

The site primary objective is a resource for club members on dates and times of tracking events and tests. They do not offer classes but have seminars, fun days, certification days, and most importantly host tests for each tracking level.

The secondary objective is a place for the members to “show off” their dogs, and their accomplishments in the sport. Photos of individuals tracking and newsletters that can be downloaded that feature members “brags”.
