The challenge
Managing a Global Performing Arts Platform
An international competition needed a platform that could take registrations from dozens of countries, showcase performer profiles and broadcast schedules and results to a global audience — without the manual administration the old site demanded of a small team.

Dated design
The previous site no longer matched the reputation WCOPA had built on stage.
Hard to find things
Schedules, registration and performer pages were buried, so visitors left before acting.
Slow and not mobile-first
Most visitors arrived on phones from many countries; the old site was built for desktop.
Nothing to measure
No analytics goals meant nobody could say what the site was doing.
03
How it started
It started with a conversation about what WCOPA needed the site to do — for the performers, families and sponsors it serves and for the team running it — and a review of what the old site was and was not delivering.
The journey began with a thorough Discovery & Analysis phase to grasp the organization's goals, audience, and challenges.
