Refactors
A Refactor project at ACC.org focuses on systematically restructuring, optimizing, or modernizing a specific area of our digital ecosystem without altering its core functionality. The goal is to improve maintainability, performance, accessibility, and long-term sustainability while aligning with best practices in development, content management, and user experience.
This process often involves:
- Code Optimization: Enhancing front-end and back-end code to improve efficiency, reduce technical debt, and ensure compliance with modern standards.
- Content Restructuring: Reviewing and reorganizing digital content within Sitecore or Sitefinity to streamline navigation, improve searchability, and eliminate redundancies.
- Design & UX Enhancements: Refining layouts, typography, and interaction patterns for better usability while maintaining consistency with ACC’s design systems, such as ARCHES and PaperCrane.
- Performance Improvements: Optimizing page load times, reducing server requests, and implementing caching strategies to enhance user experience.
- Integration & API Updates: Ensuring seamless connectivity between ACC.org, CRM systems (ONECRM), and external platforms (HubSpot, analytics tools).
- SEO & Analytics Refinement: Updating metadata, link structures, and tracking mechanisms to improve visibility and data accuracy.
Each Refactor initiative is data-driven, with preliminary audits and analytics reports guiding decisions. The ultimate objective is to create a scalable, future-proof solution that enhances both user experience and backend manageability while preserving existing content and functionality.
