The Challenge

The challenge in redesigning the Sidney website was to create a user-friendly platform that respected the unique user profile of its residents, many of whom are older adults. The design needed to be clean, modern, and easy to navigate while avoiding overly trendy or complex design elements that might detract from accessibility. By focusing on simplicity, clear navigation, and readability, the redesign aimed to provide an updated digital experience that felt welcoming and functional for all users without compromising on style or usability.

 
 

The Strategy:

A significant amount of custom graphics and iconography were designed to establish a uniform and cohesive look for the new Town of Sidney brand, enhancing the overall visual appeal and user experience.

Also, KIMBO Design’s approach to the Town of Sidney website redesign project was characterized by an all-hands-on-deck mentality, reflecting the magnitude and complexity of the task at hand. Prioritizing page layout and structure, brand uniformity, and content development, all designers were fully engaged in ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing design. Meanwhile, developers began initializing the website layout structure by programming essential components such as the header, body, and footer. This concerted effort and organizational strategy enabled the KIMBO team to efficiently tackle the significant tasks of content development, visual design, and backend customization within the WordPress CMS platform.
