[THE CHALLENGES]

Broken Journeys and Buried Content: England RFU’s Website Struggles to Meet Modern User Expectations

Broken Journeys and Buried Content: England RFU’s Website Struggles to Meet Modern User Expectations

England RFU’s current website faces significant challenges, with broken user journeys and a confusing navigation structure that leaves visitors frustrated and unable to rediscover previously viewed content.

Valuable resources are often buried deep within the site, making them difficult to access. Additionally, the platform relies heavily on text-based content, falling behind modern standards that favour dynamic, visually engaging experiences.

To stay relevant and better serve its audience, we work with England RFU to surface its digital approach, streamlining navigation and surfacing compelling, media-rich content that captures attention and enhances usability.

[THE BRAND]

[THE BRAND]

*Above is RFU’s provided brand guidelines.

It is well-established and it allowed the brand's history, vision, personality and key values to be better understood. However it was not utilised in any of England RFU’s Web.

We wanted to utilise this and help unify England RFU under one brand and one design system.

[VISUAL DESIGN]

[VISUAL DESIGN]

Close collaboration with UX Designers provided a better understanding to the research and IA developed, aiding the stage of concept generation and development.

The utilisation of bold, engaging hero contents brings valuable content to the face of the site, whilst implementing the well-established brand guidelines in general. This resolves the issue of inconsistency and outdated content due to a previous lack of content ownership and accountability across the general site, and provided with a new look and feel towards the delivery of content.
