Details

STEM the Gap Academy is seeking to consolidate and enhance its online presence by transforming its existing dual-website setup into a single, cohesive platform. The current situation involves managing two separate websites that serve overlapping purposes, leading to inefficiencies and a fragmented user experience. The goal of this project is to transfer content from the old website to the new one, ensuring that all essential information is retained and presented in a more streamlined, user-friendly manner. This transformation will involve updating the design, improving navigation, and ensuring mobile responsiveness, all while maintaining the brand's identity and accessibility standards. The project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their web development and design skills in a real-world context, focusing on user experience and content management.

Deliverables

The project deliverables will include a fully functional, consolidated website that integrates content from the old site into the new platform. Key deliverables are:



- A redesigned homepage that effectively communicates the academy's mission and offerings.


- Streamlined navigation menus that enhance user experience.


- Mobile-responsive design to ensure accessibility across devices.


- A comprehensive content migration plan that ensures no loss of critical information.


- A final report detailing the design choices, challenges faced, and solutions implemented.
