This project took place over the course of a semester during my first Web Design class. Our professor had gotten in contact with the manager of our local Habitat for Humanity who were looking to update their update but found it hard as they were a non-profit organization. It was a way for us to work with a client and for a local organization to get a new website.

Our client wanted a site that was user-friendly, informative, and easy to navigate above all. My classmates and I applied the lessons we were learning in class to this project and presented them at the end of the semester. The news had even shown up for a few brief interviews. Our sites were looked at by three people from the organization and selected my website in the end. It was a huge honor and I was excited to continue working with them.

Over the course of the next year, I worked with my client to provide required changes and wanted updates when possible. Given both of our busy schedules, we had to work around these issues and sometimes place the project on hold. Communication with the client was important to maintain as we only had email and phone calls.

After adding the final updates and some new features, the project was handed over to my professor who worked with the client to get the website launched. The client was overjoyed with the work and it was a humbling experience to be able to work with someone like them.
