Transforming an Outdated Recreation Industry Website into a Modern Digital Platform
I.C.E. Marketing & Consulting Ltd. has been serving recreation facilities, sports organizations, municipalities, schools, and commercial clients across North America since 1994. While the company had built an outstanding reputation within the recreation industry, its previous website no longer reflected the professionalism, product selection, and expertise customers expected online.
The goal of this project was to modernize the company's online presence, improve usability, simplify navigation, and create a professional website capable of supporting future growth.
