Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are flexible on students working on their own or on a team

Our team is looking to maximize our online presence by enhancing our website and improving the user experience. The right person/team who can help us drive more traffic, enhance the user experience, and improve navitgation. The primary project requirements include:

  • Improve and enhance the user experience helping them to quickly access information needed while learning about our services to help us deduce administrative tasks resulting from difficulty finding information. Currently the user must work to find the information vs having it come to them. Steamline the process.
  • Showcase our expertise and relevance in the Mental Health space
  • Help us tell our story in a more visually appealing way. We are hoping to redesign the homepage to make it more engaging, sliders photos, alternate layout for our news, add a story.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

1. Review current website functionality and provide suggestions to enhance the user experience

2. Review current plugins/features and suggest or implement new plugins to help improve navigation and allow users to communicate more efficiently with our organization or have information auto-populate based on their inputted criteria. (Ie..using dynamic forms, drop-downs etc to help auto-populate needed information to reduce inbound calls for information).

5. Improved social integration and suggest other plugins that could help the client experience

6. Improve load time of pages (currently loading slow for optimal SEO)

7. Help redesign the home page.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

We would be available for weekly meetings to consult and meet with the team as well as support via email/call as needed throughout the project
