UI/UX Improvements on a 400-Page Website

The Project

Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA Ports)

We helped the HOPA Ports team transform their website into a modern, user-friendly, and high-performance digital hub. Our comprehensive approach involved enhancing website speed, improving user experience (UX), implementing advanced website analytics tools, and meticulously addressing any bugs or glitches.

The Client

Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA) is a Canadian port authority that manages and operates ports in the cities of Hamilton and Oshawa in the Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario. With over 1,000 acres of land, 140 tenant companies, and 40,000 workers connected to them, HOPA plays a pivotal role in facilitating the transportation of goods for thousands of businesses.

The Challenge

The old HOPA Ports website was plagued by several issues that hindered its
effectiveness:

  • Cluttered and disorganized design
  • Inconsistent design elements due to contributions from multiple individuals
  • Poor user experience and navigation
  • Outdated appearance and design layouts
  • Slow loading times and performance bottlenecks

To address these challenges, the Orthoplex team embarked on a comprehensive website revitalization project, encompassing the following steps:

  • Deep Website Cleanup: We meticulously reviewed and removed outdated or irrelevant content, ensuring the website remained fresh and relevant.
  • Image and Graphics Optimization: We replaced low-quality or outdated
    images and graphics with high-resolution, modern visuals, enhancing the website’s visual appeal.
  • Bug and Error Resolution: We diligently identified and fixed broken links, errors, and glitches to ensure a seamless user experience.
  • Website Code Optimization: We optimized the website’s code, improving its performance, speed, and responsiveness.
  • Plugin and Theme Updates: We updated all plugins and themes to their latest versions, ensuring compatibility, security, and optimal functionality.
  • Enhanced Website Security: We implemented robust security measures to protect the website from cyberattacks and data breaches.
