Details

STEM the Gap Academy is seeking to enhance its online presence by revamping its existing website on Squarespace. The current website lacks modern design elements and user-friendly navigation, which can hinder potential students and partners from accessing vital information about the academy's programs and initiatives. The goal of this project is to redesign the website to improve its aesthetic appeal, functionality, and accessibility. This involves updating the site's layout, incorporating responsive design principles, and ensuring that all content is easily navigable. The project provides learners with the opportunity to apply their web development skills, particularly in the context of using Squarespace as a platform, to create a professional and engaging website that effectively communicates the academy's mission and offerings.

Deliverables

- A fully redesigned Squarespace website that reflects modern design standards and enhances user experience.


- Improved navigation structure to ensure easy access to key information about STEM the Gap Academy's programs.


- Responsive design implementation to ensure the website is accessible on various devices, including mobile phones and tablets.


- A final presentation demonstrating the new website's features and improvements, along with a brief report detailing the design process and decisions made.
