The problem
The program's site ran on a standard template, and signing up meant a PDF with a QR code. A family, a volunteer, or a sponsor had no single place to say yes, and staff had no single place to see who had.
What I did
I built the program its own design system and brand guide under the Special Olympics accredited-program standard, then rebuilt the website at sooh-medinaflash.org on that system, to WCAG 2.1 AA. I also built Flash Ops, the staff tool the coordinator runs the program from: rosters by sport and season, group email from the dashboard, and a calendar, contacts, and to-dos kept in step with the program's Google account.
The result
Every sign-up on the site now lands in one inbox, and one approval files it into a single record for that athlete, volunteer, coach, or contact. Checked on the live site on November 7, 2026: automated testing finds 0 WCAG 2.1 AA violations on the home, About, and Contact pages, and the volunteer form asks for 5 fields with 2 required.
Athlete photos are left out of these screenshots. Flash Ops is staff-only, so I show it live on request.

Sign-ups lived in a PDF. I rebuilt the site on its own brand system to WCAG 2.1 AA, with one sign-up inbox and the staff tool the program runs from.
