To start off with this project I began by analyzing the old website and sketching out a wireframe for what already existed. I found that the site navigation was confusing and that there were a number of broken links. After doing some research I found it appropriate to simplify the website for better navigation. The new wireframe illustrated that the content would be broken down into four main categories, each of them geared towards a different user. Designing the appearance of the site, I kept it simple and focused the layout around making the needs of the user more accessible. 

 

This project was my fist experience working with web design. The most challenging part was mapping out the navigation and determining what content was important to highlight for the target audience. This exposed me to user experience and taught me not only how to wireframe, but how to develop a navigable site geared towards a specific audience.
