We hope to update and revamp our existing website to attract more youth, organizations, policy-makers/educators

We would like to work with students to develop a new website that is easy to maintain while providing an appealing interface for users. This can be achieved through common site building tools such as Wix,

  • Researching different site-building tools and their associated advantages / disadvantages.
  • Building a website, with our assistance in providing the content.
  • Providing training on updating and maintaining the website.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Testing prototypes with customers and refining ideas with feedback.

  • How to graphic design a website in a creative and fun way!
  • Understanding of website platform options

  • Recommendations for website maintenance

Final deliverables should include
