Challenge

ALS Association Walk event website saw increasing usage from participants using mobile devices
The Participant Center for the walk events was not responsive, and therefore not optimized for use by participant using mobile devices when trying to fundraise
The solution needed to be quick and inexpensive to implement

Approach

Utilized the existing design of the ALS Walk to Defeat Participant Center and developed a mobile version of the design
Implemented code to add responsive functionality to existing Participant Center
Desktop user saw no change in experience while those utilizing mobile devices are able to utilize the mobile optimized feature set

Outcome

Participant Center Bounce rates dropped from 49% to 43%
Donations that occurred following a visit to the Participant Center increased by nearly 3x
Participants updated their personal page 30% more often after the mobile implementation
