UK Anti-Doping Website Transformation: Keeping Sport Clean
Protecting the right to enjoy doping-free sport is a big responsibility, and an important one, and it needs a lot of support, not least of all from the go-to source of information on the subject, the UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) website.
The Project
As the UK’s authority on clean sport, UKAD need an authoritative website that gives users confidence that they have come to the right place and will find the definitive guidance they need. Their site must guide users to enable them to find all the support they need – from school children discovering sport, to elite athletes; from coaches to participants. It must be an informative and inspiring online destination.
Now in their tenth year of existence, UKAD found themselves with an outdated website, both in looks and functionality, that needed a re-design to convey the gravitas and importance of the organisation and its resources. Devised, designed and built by digital agency, Other Media, on leading open-source software, Drupal 8, UKAD now boasts an easy-to-update website ensuring that resources are always current and accessible. The new site is fully responsive, catering to users on whichever device they are using and is helping users to find the right information quickly and easily while being pleasurable to use with intuitive navigation and refreshed imagery. There has been a shift in focus away from the negative (the reporting of Anti-Doping Rule Violations, for example, that has to be available) towards the positives of education about the spirit of sport and how to ensure you participate in clean sport.
With a focus on broadening the reach and deepening engagement, the new site can now continue the hard work in educating and supporting everyone involved in participating in sport to keep sport clean.
