An outdated DIY website held back one of the board game world’s most exciting events—until a full redesign delivered a sleek, scalable, and conversion-focused online presence.
Game On: Who Is Dice Tower West?
Dice Tower West is more than just an event—it’s a destination. Every year in Las Vegas, thousands of board game enthusiasts flock to this four-day gaming extravaganza. Attendees get access to a curated library of over 6,000 games, while game designers debut new titles and vendors bring the best of the tabletop world to life. From sunrise until the wee hours of the morning, Dice Tower West is a buzzing hub of strategy, creativity, and connection.
With big ambitions to expand attendance and sponsor involvement, Dice Tower West needed a digital platform that could match the magic of their event.
The Challenge: Big Event, Small Online Footprint
The original website was a DIY build that lacked the sophistication needed to drive large-scale growth. Key challenges included:
A clunky user interface that created friction during registration
A dated visual style that failed to capture the energy of Vegas or the excitement of the event
Limited functionality for sponsors, vendors, and partners
A general lack of scalability and branding cohesion
If Dice Tower West wanted to grow their numbers and reputation, their online presence had to level up.
Discovery Phase: Digging Into UX, Feedback, and Friction
We conducted a full audit of analytics, attendee feedback, and user behavior. Insights revealed:
Users were getting lost in the navigation
Many abandoned the registration process due to unclear CTAs
Potential sponsors found it difficult to find or complete sign-up steps
We knew our solution had to deliver on both form and function—a high-energy visual experience paired with intuitive, conversion-optimized UX.
Strategy Formation: Where Vegas Flair Meets Functional Design
We aimed to elevate Dice Tower West’s brand with a site that would impress even the most design-savvy board gamer. Our approach:
Infused the site with Las Vegas flair—bold visuals, exciting color palettes, and high-impact branding
Focused on ease of use for attendees, sponsors, and vendors
Implemented a StoryBrand-style messaging flow to guide visitors through a clear journey from interest to action

Responsive mobile design and fast-loading pages

Optimizations for speed, SEO, and accessibility
The final result? A site that looks and feels as dynamic as the event itself.
