Product Context: Olathe Club of the Deaf (OCD) Website

Why This Project Exists

The Olathe Club of the Deaf (OCD) website is being developed to provide an accessible online presence for the deaf community in Olathe. This website serves as an information hub, community portal, and administrative tool for the organization.

Problems It Solves

  1. Information Accessibility: Provides easy access to club information, events, and resources for deaf community members
  2. Community Engagement: Facilitates event announcements, membership management, and community interaction
  3. Administrative Efficiency: Streamlines club operations including membership tracking, event management, and document storage
  4. Accessibility: Ensures deaf and DeafBlind users have equitable access to club information with ASL videos, captions, and screen reader compatibility

How It Should Work

The website functions as both a public-facing portal and an administrative tool:

For Public Users

  • Access information about OCD, its mission, and leadership
  • View upcoming events and calendar
  • Learn about membership benefits and application process
  • Contact the organization
  • Access documents like bylaws and meeting minutes
  • View ASL videos with captions/transcripts
  • Make donations through Zeffy integration

For Administrators

  • Manage website content through a protected dashboard
  • Update event information and calendar
  • Track membership status, expirations, and contact info
  • Upload and manage documents
  • Upload and manage ASL videos with transcripts
  • Receive automated notifications about membership expirations

The system prioritizes accessibility, focusing on the specific needs of deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind users while maintaining high standards for responsiveness and performance.
