Sport Wales

Delivering a powerful digital platform for communicating the long-term and inclusive strategic vision for national sport

In Wales, sport isn't just about competition - it's about creating a healthier, more active nation where every young person can flourish. Sport Wales embodies this vision, distributing National Lottery grants, supporting promising athletes, and advising the Government on sporting initiatives. We knew we were taking on a project that would touch lives across the entire country.

Our mission was to craft a website that would do more than just showcase Sport Wales' work - it needed to be a powerful tool for communication that could reach and engage every Welsh citizen. This meant creating a fully bilingual experience where users could seamlessly switch between Welsh and English at any point in their journey.

We began by diving deep into user analysis, understanding the diverse audiences who would interact with the platform. From parents looking for children's activities to elite athletes seeking support, each user group had unique needs and motivations. This insight drove our design decisions, ensuring the platform would be truly inclusive and accessible to all.

The heart of our solution lay in creating intuitive user hubs with robust filtering systems. Whether someone was taking their first steps into an active lifestyle or training for international competition, they could easily find relevant opportunities and resources. We streamlined these journeys, making sure valuable information was never more than a few clicks away.

Through careful design and thoughtful functionality, we've created a platform that reflects Sport Wales' commitment to nurturing a more active nation. But this is just the beginning. Our ongoing analysis continues to drive improvements, using data and insights to refine and enhance the user experience. We're helping Sport Wales build not just a website, but a digital gateway to a healthier, more active Wales.

Like the organiation itself, this platform serves as a foundation for future growth and development. As we continue to gather insights and make improvements, we're excited to see how this digital tool will help Sport Wales achieve its vision of giving every person in Wales the opportunity to enjoy a lifetime of sport.
