Illinois Office of Tourism - enjoyillinois.com Website Redesign

We started with mood boards, qualitative and quantitive research, UX, IA, and three badass front and back-end programmers and built a new site from scratch.

We recently pushed a HUGE update where I managed the team, integrating translation and lots of ultra-geek-ness.  Oh, and it's won and is still winning awards.

 
 

hub pages

We thought about these 2 years ago, did we need them? We decided to cut them and add later if necessary. Well, turns out we needed them. Fun to make, FULLY RESPONSIVE, and simple they've proved a perfect addition to the site. Play with the live page here.

GOOGLE TRANSLATION

Look in the masthead, see the globe? Custom targeted google translation to our core markets. High traffic areas of the site are human tweaked post google translation. 

Try it out in Japaneese, it's lovely.

 
 
 
 

TRIP IDEAS

These one-pagers are like micro-sites living within the site. I've done 4 of them to date, and are a challenge, but absolutely worth it. 

Ultimate Illinois Experience   I   Outdoor Adventure   I   Familyland   I    Route 66

 
 

regions & Cities

I did this section for the launch of the site. Don't ask why, but the state is divided up into 4 regions. Alas, a Regions & Cities section. It's 4 big pages with their own internal navigational map. FUN.

Check it out live here.

 

 

There is a ton more that I've done on the site.

Just ask.
