In 2013, I head the pleasure of revamping a local volleyball club's home page.
Before: A valiant effort with pre 2013 design standards in mind
People Challenges (in order of client's preference):
1) (For the admin) "I want to easily update this site's content independently--without contacting the designer."
2) "I am an alumni of this sports club and would like to keep up with the upcoming events and new players."
3) "I want to enroll my child in a local youth sports program."
Solution:
Addressing the first challenge was simple: we subscribed the organization to a Weebly account. That way, I could get the redesign shipped ASAP and the admins can add their own content easily right away. At the time, I have personally found Weebly easy-to-use and customize, and was able to manipulate the assets with a few HTML and CSS adjustments.
I adjusted padding/spacing enough so that all the content is evenly spaced and legible, no matter what the admins added.

Additionally, I updated their logo to a more modern design.
Notes and wireframe sketches taken at the briefing; I made sure to accommodate all the requests of my client. We sorted through what was important in regards to accessibility for the admins, as well as those who wished to inquire about their local volleyball club.
