# Product Context: Olathe Club of the Deaf (OCD) Website
|
|
|
|
## Why This Project Exists
|
|
|
|
The Olathe Club of the Deaf (OCD) website serves as a digital hub for the deaf community in Olathe, Kansas. The project exists to:
|
|
|
|
1. **Improve Accessibility**: Create a fully accessible digital presence that serves deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind community members
|
|
2. **Streamline Operations**: Automate administrative tasks like membership tracking and event management
|
|
3. **Increase Visibility**: Raise awareness of OCD's activities, events, and services in the broader community
|
|
4. **Preserve History**: Document and showcase the organization's rich history since 1975
|
|
5. **Facilitate Communication**: Provide an accessible platform for members to stay informed about club activities
|
|
6. **Support Governance**: Make organizational bylaws, minutes, and board information readily available
|
|
|
|
The website addresses the lack of a modern, accessible, and functional digital presence for this important community organization.
|
|
|
|
## Problems Solved
|
|
|
|
### For Community Members
|
|
- **Information Gap**: Previously, community members had difficulty accessing up-to-date information about events, meetings, and organizational news
|
|
- **Membership Barriers**: The old paper-based membership process was cumbersome and inaccessible
|
|
- **Resource Access**: Community resources, historical documents, and educational materials were not easily available
|
|
- **Event Awareness**: Many community members missed events due to inconsistent communication
|
|
|
|
### For Organization Leaders
|
|
- **Administrative Burden**: Manual membership tracking and event management consumed valuable volunteer time
|
|
- **Communication Challenges**: Reaching all members efficiently was difficult and inconsistent
|
|
- **Donation Limitations**: No streamlined way to accept donations and support
|
|
- **Membership Tracking**: Difficulty managing membership statuses, expirations, and renewals
|
|
- **Content Management**: No easy way to update website content without technical expertise
|
|
|
|
### For Website Visitors
|
|
- **Accessibility Issues**: Previous digital presence was not fully accessible to deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind users
|
|
- **Content Freshness**: Information was often outdated or incomplete
|
|
- **Usability Problems**: Navigation and information architecture were confusing
|
|
- **Mobile Experience**: Previous site was not responsive or mobile-friendly
|
|
- **Visual Communication**: Lack of ASL videos and visual elements essential for deaf users
|
|
|
