Project Summary

The emphasis is to improve the user experience. The primary target market consists of airport passengers and visitors. The focus for this group is on providing information needed to reach the airport, navigate the facility, and utilize airport amenities inside and outside the passenger terminal. The secondary target is business related—vendors, government entities, airport employees—interested in airport operations, airport facts and statistics, vendor opportunities, and airport initiatives.

Challenges

The original design of the website suffered from several major issues: it had poor user navigation, a dated visual style, inconsistent use of brand standards, and a lack of proper functionality.
