Presenting Vital Information as a Main Goal for a Website

Avtor

Delivering hiking/mountaineering knowledge is a matter of public health.

GRZS, a national mountain rescue, is the key information holder for every mountain-goer, be it a professional or a recreational hiker. At its heart are the people: the volunteers, the rescuers, and the rescued. And, of course, their supporters.

Thus, the grzs.si is the starting point for everything related to the mountains. Not only to inform about the organization, its activities and rescue ventures but also to educate and spread awareness of what exactly it means to journey to the mountain world.

Client was facing a challenge of having an outdated, unresponsive existing website that has fallen behind times with similar content scattered across the site and a complicated architecture.

The creative solution had to provide a new structure that meets the requirements of the client as a voluntary organization in service of the public, as well as the needs of the user who visits the site with a specific goal, where every visitor gets a sense of what the site has to offer at a single glance.

The new design provides clear visibility even on smaller screens, whereas the structure is divided based on the main purposes of the site:

  • education: visitors can read guides on proper mountain behaviour, learn about how to become a mountain rescuer or how to react in a case of an accident,
  • information: visitors can learn more about the organisation’s activities and rescue missions on daily basis,
  • presentation: visitors can learn more about the organisation or its member organisations.

All information for hikers is now reachable with a click.
