  3. Integrate Multimedia Content: Seamlessly incorporate educational videos, graphics, infographics, and downloadable resources (workbooks and worksheets).
  4. Optimize for Accessibility and Responsiveness: Ensure the website is fully responsive and accessible to users across devices (mobile, tablet, and desktop) and meets web accessibility standards.
  5. Test and Launch: Conduct user testing to identify any technical or usability issues and refine the website before launch. Document the redesign process and provide a summary report.


Final Deliverables:

  1. Fully redesigned, responsive, and accessible website.
  2. Integration of multimedia resources (graphics, videos, and educational content).
  3. A detailed summary report outlining the redesign process, challenges, and outcomes.
