Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We hope to update and revamp our existing website to attract more customers.

We would like to work with students to develop our website that is easy to maintain while providing an appealing interface for users and is accessible. This can be achieved through common site building with Webflow.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Researching different site-building tools and their associated advantages / disadvantages.
  • Conducting a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable.
  • Building a website, with our assistance in providing the content.
  • Ensuring the website is accessible
  • 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.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of website platform options
  • Identification of the most suitable platform
  • Development of a website using the most suitable tool
  • Recommendations for website maintenance

Bonus steps would include:

  • Testing the website with users and making improvements based on user input

Final deliverables should include

  • A website prototype.
  • A final report.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our current products and website design
  • Our customer and industry insights
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

  • Website builders, specifically Webflow
  • UI / UX design principles

Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
