Project Overview:
The RISK website transformation project was initiated to modernize and enhance the online presence of the RISK Show, a well-established platform for storytelling and live performances. This project required a strategic blend of front-end and back-end development, UI/UX design, content management, and project management.
Key Phases and Achievements:

- Recommendation for Overhaul: Recognizing the need for a more significant upgrade to the website, our team recommended a complete overhaul. This overhaul was aimed at improving the look and feel of the site and enabling the delivery of new functionalities requested by the client.
- Team Expansion: To execute the overhaul effectively, we expanded our team. In addition to front-end development, we brought onboard a back-end developer to enhance functionality.
Our dedicated UI/UX designer was engaged to craft an appealing and intuitive user interface.
Our content manager was enlisted to create and organize engaging content. - Project management was handled to ensure seamless coordination among team members.
- Website Overhaul: The overhaul phase was an intensive four-month process that included a complete revamp of the website’s design and layout.
New features and functionalities were integrated to meet the client’s requirements.
A focus on user experience (UX) was a central part of the redesign to improve visitor engagement and navigation. - Stakeholder Approval and Launch: Following the overhaul, the client approved the changes and the website was officially launched. This new website presented an attractive and functional platform for RISK Show audiences.
