Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our company advertises thousands of products online. We hope to update and revamp our existing website to attract more customers.
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, Webflow, and WordPress.
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.
- 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
- UI / UX design principles
Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
About the company

- Real estate
Toronto has a real housing crisis, in terms of lack of homes and affordability. Currently the real estate industry, due largely to zoning restrictions, was limited to urban sprawl or high density options. Thankfully, the city has responded and now there is a real opportunity to create an alternative in the form of the missing middle. Realizing these challenges but also an opportunity to lead the change, we created MiddleHouse to create fourplexes and ADUs, so people at all ages can live in low-rise, but higher density options in quiet neighbourhoods.. At MiddleHouse, we have a passion for cities, the environment, vibrant walkable neighbourhoods and projects that respect both neighbours and the street.
