Association for Women in Computing

The Association for Women in Computing strives to promote inclusivity in STEM by giving women and allies of women in computing the platform to exceed. We partner with companies to bring Tech Talks, career opportunities and professional contacts to our members. Additionally, we host social events to connect our members and allow them to celebrate their diversity and shared experiences. Our goal is to foster a supportive community within the computing majors on campus and encourage minorities to continue to pursue computing.

Before


Problems

  • Outdated content
  • Hard to update with new opportunities
  • Navigation takes user to different points of the page, but there is a new navigation menu when clicking on the "Learn More" button, which makes it feel inconsistent.

Very slow slideshow that has no controls for users to click through. For perspective members, it may be hard to recognize this is a slideshow.

Goals for the Website

  • Attract new members while retaining returners
  • Focus on the feeling of a close-knit community
