Identifying Challenges in Outdated Web Infrastructure and Limited User Engagement

The organization’s existing website is outdated, error-prone, with a complex structure comprising over 3,200 pages, making content management difficult. It lacks modern functionalities such as integrated event management, seamless program registration, localized content filtering, single sign-on capabilities, and a mobile-friendly interface. This results in decreased user engagement, higher maintenance costs, and inefficiencies in content updates and user interactions.
