Details

Our company advertises thousands of products online. We hope to update and revamp our existing website to attract more customers.

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 such as Wix, Webflow, and WordPress.

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

  • Researching different site-building tools and their associated advantages / disadvantages.
  • Conducting a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable.
  • Building a website, with our assistance in providing the content.
  • Providing training on updating and maintaining the website.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Testing prototypes with customers and refining ideas with feedback.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of website platform options
  • Identification of the most suitable platform
  • 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.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our current products and website design
  • Our customer and industry insights
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

The Africa Ubuntu Association (AUA) is a dynamic, not-for-profit art community organization, deeply rooted in the rich cultural ethos of Africa. Located on the Unceded Syilx Territory, AUA's mission is to cultivate a vibrant community in the greater Okanagan area. It serves as a nurturing space for Africans, those of African descent, and anyone with an interest in African culture. At the heart of AUA's philosophy is the African concept of Ubuntu - 'I am because you are.' This philosophy emphasizes the importance of community, where each individual is encouraged to shine, contributing to a collective brilliance rather than standing alone.

AUA's mission is multifaceted:

Fostering Community Through Art: AUA leverages the power of art to bring people together, celebrating African culture and its diverse expressions.
Connecting Africans in the Diaspora: It aims to be a connecting point for Africans living and studying abroad, building bridges across continents.
Promoting Intercultural Exchange: By encouraging interactions among various cultures, AUA enhances mutual understanding and respect.
Advocating for Diverse Activities: The organization champions artistic, educational, social, recreational, charitable, and athletic initiatives that reflect the interests of its members.
Documenting Lived Experiences: Recognizing the importance of history, AUA is committed to documenting the present experiences of Africans as future historical records.
The vision of AUA is to create public spaces that embody community support and inclusivity, addressing community needs in innovative ways.
