Case Study: Forest Preserve District of Will County achieves 53% increase in users with Kentico

Forest Preserve District of Will County - Customer Case Study

The Forest Preserve District of Will County, which manages diverse historic and natural sites across Will County, needed a modern website that reflected the beauty of its preserves and made content easy for staff to update. Their previous site was a non-responsive, maintenance-heavy landing page with no workflow and limited ability to showcase photography, video, events, or engage visitors.

Americaneagle.com rebuilt the site on the Kentico platform, using Kentico Cloud for migration, custom page types, parallax “Big Picture” storytelling, video-forward design, and integrations with Hawk Search, Instagram, YouTube and email. Launched May 2017 and hosted by Americaneagle.com, the site delivered measurable gains: users +37.3%, page views +36.8%, returning visitors rose to 40.9%, interactive map users +128% and map page views +146%, plus improved SEO, speed, accessibility and nighttime traffic.
