Details

Our company is looking into introducing a website for community engagement and enjoyment across the city.

.

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; we currently use Canva and can offer login access to the team to create on there


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

  • Building a forum for community submissions
  • Connecting website "points of interest" with google maps
  • Building a cohesive ad space program so as to the website generates revenue for our continued upkeep


Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of website platform options
  • 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.
