Code Engine Studio Elevates Asteroid Day’s Online Strategy
KEY INSIGHTS
In a Nutshell
The Problem
Asteroid Day faced the challenge of managing unorganized and redundant content across six sites, lacking a clear user journey and consistent branding, which hindered their ability to effectively manage hundreds of collaborators and engage and inform their audience.
The Solution
Code Engine Studio overhauled the system, integrating six sites into one by unifying analytics and the content management system (CMS) for easy content management and event organization, and delivering a cohesive design to improve user experience and brand consistency.
The Results
An organized, engaging, and effective platform with detailed analytics — enhancing collaborator engagement, boosting brand recognition, and supporting Asteroid Day’s mission to educate the public on asteroids through improved site usability and functionality.
The Challenge
Asteroid Day faced the challenge of managing unorganized, redundant content across multiple sites, which made it difficult for users to find information and for the team to maintain consistency and usability. The lack of a clear user journey and inconsistent branding further complicated the experience for event organizers, participants, and media representatives, necessitating expert help for a complete overhaul of content, branding, and UX to elevate the initiative’s mission.
“Code Engine Studio is our digital partner in our mission to educate the public about asteroids. Their expertise in transforming our complex web of sites into a cohesive platform has been pivotal. We rely on them for everything from web architecture to managing peak traffic surges.”
