ARLS Feature Image

The Athens Regional Library System came to us with some common concerns: Despite their best efforts, their existing website structure and the underlying systems supporting it were no longer keeping pace with their communication needs; The amount of content, much of it duplicated, had become challenging to manage; And the design and overall user experience no longer represented the dynamic community resource that they truly were.

By leveraging our experience with websites of this size and scope, we knew right away that a successful redesign hinged on developing the right foundational structure. Working to understand and best support the most common needs of the varied audiences was crucial to setting the stage for a well-organized, intuitive, and engaging site built to serve the entire library system community for many years.

“The Kaptiv8 team felt like an extension of our marketing department. Taking on the heart of this project and breathing life into our new website. The end result is polished, streamlined, and functional.”

Locator Tool

By working closely with the ARLS team, we were able to determine and define a more streamlined and condensed top-level menu, and then to relocate pages within those sections in a logical and intuitive way for simpler access to key resources and services.

This process of restructuring the site architecture also afforded the team the opportunity to identify redundant, outdated and irrelevant content and remove those pages. As a result, the overall site footprint was condensed from an unwieldy size of over two thousand pages down to a tight but effective 250.

ARLS Structure

The Athens Regional Library System requires the support of a committed community to thrive. We understood the importance of providing clear, ever-present calls to action to present the many opportunities for engagement and participation, implementing an on-brand set of buttons to promote financial and materials donations, volunteership, and participation in the ACC library foundation or as ‘Friends’ of each branch.

Today, the Athens Regional Library System has a website that is simpler to use, easier to manage, and fully scalable to support their ongoing efforts. We’re glad to have had the opportunity to support such a vital community resource!
