Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We have a website, and we are looking to optimize it.

Why? Our main market is remote communities where internet connectivity is an issue.

Take a look: grey-box.ca , we are a social impact organization, so #code4good !

So our website has to load fast. We use Wordpress, with a Divi template.

The site works in 3 languages, and we have about 10k$ of ads per month on it (Google Grant)

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

Students should be prepared to:

  • Conduct a performance analysis
  • Create a proposal that details changes that could be performed and their expected impact
  • Make priority changes and measure the speed impact.
  • Provide training on updating and maintaining the site.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Weekly touch base with out marketing team.

Grey-box is a social innovation startup. Its main product, Uni, provides wireless access to digital resources (such as Wikipedia, Khan academy, several MOOC-type online courses, medical databases) in areas where access to the internet or to electricity is unreliable.

While 50% of the world's population is not connected - and the COVID-19 situation is exacerbating these inequalities - our team is working on an accessible product (portable, energy efficient, climate resistant and, above all, less than 100 $ the unit) which allows anyone to connect to these essential resources for their development and autonomy.

Grey-box is a nonprofit structured under the principle of mobile-first and remote-first. Diversity is not only encouraged, it is an integral part of the strength of the team and its projects
