Design and build a virtual challenge platform for Leeds 2020
This way users could see the distances they had biked or run and see their standings against others in their category.
We aimed for a super easy form entry and we hooked up to relevant databases for those who had already signed up to the Leeds 2020 live event. By doing this, we removed any unnecessary barriers and sped up the accuracy of a live leaderboard. It integrates with Stava to track participants’ running/cycling during the challenge period to build a leaderboard of everyone that completed the challenge. We made observations on how Strava handles its data and we leveraged the design to make it easy for the users to submit their distances and times. Once they had completed their selected distances, participants could then download their certificate and request their medal.
It meant we could easily react to the changing landscape of our client’s new requirements. The turnaround was seamless from concept to development with very little headaches along the way. It gave us breathing space to improve the design intricacies and micro flourishes across the board to improve the overall usability and experience of the site.
