We took the following steps to refresh the RICE website:
Collaborated with RICE to improve the organization’s stakeholder application, event request, and donation processes
Refined the event registration process so that RICE personnel will no longer have to schedule events manually on behalf of visitors. Those planning events will be able to choose times, select vendors, specify preferred room styles, schedule appointments with audiovisual technicians, and make deposits
To streamline the event registration process, Badie Designs built an application that was compatible with Optix, which RICE had been using previously
Introduced animations and other graphical effects to emphasize select text and images
Created an interactive graphic that presents RICE’s Big IDEAS curriculum as a multistage cycle; users can click or tap on each stage to learn more
Added a customized tool that permits separate fees for stakeholders, non-stakeholders, and nonprofits
Developed a stakeholder portal containing personal and business profile pages, announcements, and directories and other resources
Created an online Black Marketplace directory on the RICE website for POC-owned businesses
Integrated a custom CRM application that collects data from stakeholders, applicants, donors, and volunteers
Thanks to our custom solutions, the new booking process is easy and intuitive, while the site’s interactive elements add visual interest.
