Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Concept: POP in Winnipeg is a vibrant fusion of work and play, tailored for early-stage entrepreneurs, SMEs, creative minds, and those overcoming barriers. It's also ideal for companies desiring a "3rd space" for employees—a neutral, inclusive area distinct from work and home. This environment nurtures informal interactions, relaxation, and creativity, enhancing a community atmosphere that drives innovation and collaboration.


At POP, we embrace this concept, providing a platform for fun experiences, innovative workshops, and networking opportunities in a playful yet professional setting. Our services include podcast management and mentorship, supporting both personal and professional growth. Beyond a conventional workspace, POP is a dynamic arena where creativity, relationships, and entrepreneurial spirit thrive in a community-centric atmosphere.

Pop Retail also presents a unique opportunity for artisans and makers to display and design their work, reflecting their personal brand and style in our engaging space.


  • We need to update an existing web flow website adding new pages, a membership section and a small e-commerce section.
  • We may use a hybrid of Webflow for the content and Shopify for the e-commerce and memberships unless it's not advised to do so.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of Webflow
  • Development of a website and functionality
  • Recommendations for website maintenance
  • Implemneting the best possible Accessibility standards

Bonus steps would include:

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

Final deliverables should include

  • A website
  • Membership section
  • Ecommerce
  • 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.
