Case Study: Own the Podium achieves real-time funding insights and a faster bilingual website for Rio 2016 with Kentico

Own the Podium - Customer Case Study

Own the Podium is a Canadian not‑for‑profit that prioritizes funding strategies to help national sport organizations deliver Olympic and Paralympic medals. Inorbital, a Toronto web development studio, was hired to redesign OTP’s bilingual site with a refreshed look, real‑time funding graphs, CMS‑driven image galleries, member forum, mobile support and third‑party integrations — all on a compressed timeline of less than six weeks and with a unique diagonal parallax design requirement.

Inorbital rebuilt the site on a clean Kentico v9 instance, created a custom funding web part and dynamic content modules, and developed bespoke JavaScript to ensure smooth diagonal parallax scrolling. The site launched in time for Rio 2016, achieved AODA AA compliance and significantly improved performance (straight A’s on WebPageTest), received positive stakeholder feedback, and supported OTP during a Games where Canada won 22 Olympic and 29 Paralympic medals.
