Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our company has been serving thousands of customers for 9 years. However, our current website is outdated and requires updating. We would like to collaborate with students to create new pages that help users navigate the site and find up-to-date information.

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

  • Identifying and researching useful web pages that can be included on our website.
  • Creating new pages for the website, with our assistance in providing the content.
  • Reviewing and updating old web pages to ensure consistency of information.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Recommending potential upgrades or features that can be included in the website
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Research justifying the creation of new web pages.
  • Creation of new pages for our website.
  • Recommendations and improvements for old web pages.

Bonus steps would include:

  • Suggesting improvements to the overall website.

Final deliverables should include

  • A presentation of the new web pages and updates made to old ones.

Please Note: We use Shopify as our website business platform.

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.
  • We work to the learners schedule
  • Working with first responders - what's allowed for content and what is not.
  • We are all about working together, for any questions.

The ebike industry is supposed to help consumers make smart choices about the environment thru alternate modes of transportation. The electric bike industry is the wild west where over 90% of imported ebikes are rebranded. Meaning you do not know the manufacturer which is important for the longevity of the product. Currently average ebike life is less than 500 hours and they cannot be repaired and end up in the landfill. That is why 171 Electric Bike Company was formed to do 2 things. Educate the consumer, and keep our ebikes out of the landfill. Our Company philosophy is 'Touch Green' our motto is 'Buy it once - Ride it for life"
