Alberta Gymnastics

Stuck between 1999’s style and an encyclopedia’s worth of gymnastics related content, Alberta Gymnastics’ site was desperate for a costume change, a sharper script, and a shiny new face. Travis Gertz and I took this project on the road while driving around the country in a Winnebago, so suffice to say, we built this beauty while learning how to drain a black water tank. That makes it even more impressive.

For starters, I stripped out 87% of the content and wrote it down to its bare bones. Then I completely restructured the navigation and page hierarchy. To create a focus on the gymnastics athletes who would be reading the site while mid-flip on a horizontal bar, I created calls to action that popped off the page, and chunked up denser information to make it digestible. We took a site with a huge job description and made it simple, elegant, and to the point. Kind of like the perfect floor routine.
