My Role: I was responsible for all design, development, and implementation.
Design Process
After the initial discovery interview, a sitemap and wireframes were produced, and the visual designs followed soon after including a new logo design and visual layouts.
Content
The site needed to express what functions the group carried out, a blog for their media releases and also a list of partners.
The Result
The final product was colorful and fun focusing on a warm community feel, with photos of the esplanade and the faces of the people who are involved. Visitors to the site were informed and were able to connect with the group about their various projects.
