MidAmerican RecPlex

Categories: Website Design & Development

1 min. read

We built the website for the MidAmerican RecPlex before the building was complete, making sure we gave them a flexible solution that they can add to as their needs and priorities change.

MidAmerican Energy selected Webspec as their partner in creating a website for their new sports complex in West Des Moines. The MidAmerican RecPlex is a sight to behold with year-round space accommodations for activities like ice skating, soccer, basketball, and even large events like concerts. Our team was eager to design a website from scratch that would be just as impressive.

The Challenge

A challenge for the Webspec and MidAmerican teams was that the facility did not yet exist, so there was a lot of speculative strategy involved in the content and page structure. In the end, we launched with a flexible solution that the client can add onto for months and years to come.

The section has cards laid out in a grid and include "drop in during open gym times", "host a tournament or league play", "present a concert or trade show", host a party", hold a gathering", "reserve space for non-competitive play", and "book a community event"

A Facility with Many Rooms Means Web Users with Many Options

The size of the West Des Moines facility is massive and features dozens of opportunities for use. From birthday party rentals to open gym times and large events, the website user experience has to accommodate it all. 

Furthermore, due to the nature of the RecPlex being a not-yet-open venue, the website needed flexibility that allows for the MidAmerican staff to change and adapt the site in tandem with their internal processes after opening day. A simple way to accomplish this? One example is the tiled user pathways on the homepage.
