The Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) had a legacy site on a proprietary Content Management System (CMS), that had become sluggish, restrictive, and lacking in accessibility compliance. Rivendell undertook the comprehensive project to modernize the state agency website by updating the CMS, content architecture, and UI/UX, aiming to provide optimal and accessible services to Delaware constituents including landlords, tenants, and vendors. Our team started by meticulously analyzing the legacy site to understand the needs of DSHA’s users and address the challenges posed by scattered and excessive content. Through a detailed content audit and reorganization, we streamlined and prioritized information to enhance clarity and coherence, ensuring it met both organizational goals and user expectations. The layout was redesigned to improve navigation ease, allowing all users to effortlessly access necessary information. Throughout this transformation, we maintained close collaboration with DSHA’s internal stakeholders, ensuring the revamped website aligned with their vision and ultimately resulted in a coherent, user-friendly, and visually appealing digital presence.
