For my final project I have redesigned the site for a group I am involved in at school, Project for the Homeless. The existing site feels static and outdated- so my primary objectives were to make it feel more interactive and alive, yet clean and organized. The big pieces that have to exist on this site are the volunteer calendar + sign-up form (though this page could perhaps use a little more layout help). I am pleased with the color + design decisions and how it comes together on the screen.
Project for the Homeless Redesign
Existing site:
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/pfh/
Should be- clear & informational. Include a calendar sign-up. Also need: nice photos (tricky because of subject matter); inspirational-quotes; lots of pictures of the group- students involved & what our meetings look like.
