Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We needed a developer to create a highly responsive website, one that we could edit and maintain ourselves once the initial development phase was over. The website/app is a guide and repository of information on adolescent sexual and reproductive health topics and services available for young people in Rhode Island. The website needed a young "feel" and a structure that would support expansion as more information is added in the coming months and years.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The website is beautiful. Beautifully and thoughtfully laid out with user experience in mind, especially as it pertains to the habits of young people on social media, to make it look and feel familiar, comfortable, and easy to use. The home page animation was a perfect touch that was very popular and pleasing to the young people we surveyed when the process began.
