To promote an enriched sense of belonging, we have built a complete resource where members can stay connected. Developed for communities looking for a safe and instant method to connect all its members, the COM-UNITY powered application highlights a platform where no member is forgotten or left out. Providing both Member and Administrator views, COM-UNITY ensures administrators have the ability to customize their community’s experience (ex: Offering public or private memberships). Of key interest, admins are able to access and control the collection and usage of membership analytics to assist in targeting organizational/community trends. Members can enjoy a heightened sense of connectivity with like-minded people they might never have otherwise met. All in one seamless system. COM-UNITY’s unique infrastructure provides the resources and tools to learn, share and grow together.
From a stand-alone basis or within a complex ecosystem of existing tools, COM-UNITY’s technological infrastructure provides the flexibility to ensure that any operational wants and needs are supported today and into the future. Not only are we constantly improving and expanding our toolkit to adapt to new technological trends, COM-UNITY (ELM Group) is able to remain involved in whatever capacity desired to ensure community members are supported and organizational trends and analytics are collected for growth.
As one of two graphic designers tasked with creating a website for a Com-unity, I aimed to tailor the website to the specific needs of the users. With its customizable platform and analytics capabilities, I have given the users the flexibility to choose between public or private memberships and can design both Member and Administrator views to meet their needs. By utilizing COM-UNITY's technological infrastructure, I ensured that the website not only meets the current operational needs of the community but also has the potential to evolve with future technological trends. I have leverage the heightened sense of connectivity offered by COM-UNITY to create a website that encourages engagement and participation among community members.

Website Design
A website should be simple and easy to navigate. The design should not overwhelm the user with too much information or too many design elements. A simple and clean design will help to focus the user's attention on the most important information and make the website easier to use.
Consistency in design helps to create a cohesive user experience. This includes using consistent branding elements such as typography, colour scheme, and layout throughout the website. Consistency also includes keeping the design and content up-to-date and relevant.
A website should be accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This includes using clear and legible typography, providing alternative text for images and multimedia, and ensuring that the website can be navigated with a keyboard.
A website should be designed with a clear visual hierarchy that guides the user's attention to the most important information first. This can be achieved through the use of colour, typography, and layout to create a clear visual hierarchy. By prioritizing the most important information and making it stand out visually, users are more likely to engage with the content and stay on the website longer.
One of the biggest challenges with any community platform is getting users to engage with the platform and each other. Without active participation, the platform may not achieve its goals of promoting a sense of belonging and fostering connections. We can overcome this problem by providing engaging and valuable content, such as educational resources or entertaining content that aligns with the community's interests. We can also encourage members to connect offline by organizing in-person events or meetups, thereby facilitating deeper connections and strengthening the sense of community.
With the collection and usage of membership analytics, privacy and security concerns may arise. Members may be hesitant to share personal information or engage with the platform if they feel their data is not being protected. We can overcome this problem by ensuring strict privacy policies and procedures are in place to protect member data and usage and by being transparent about how member data is collected, used, and protected through clear terms of service and user agreements.
While we offers a customizable experience for administrators, there may still be limitations in terms of what can be customized or how it is implemented. We can overcome this problem by regularly soliciting feedback from administrators and users to identify areas for improvement and customization.
Using a sitemap for visual presentation of the website. It provides a full overview, which then will aid in simplifying, trimming off unnecessary pages, and keeping what’s important. Using the site map, I identified what content fits together and what may disturb user flow within the Com-Unity website.
Overall, this website design has successfully improved the user experience of the website, resulting in increased engagement and satisfaction among users. It has identified key pain points and implemented effective solutions to improve the website’s functionality and usability.
I'm proud of what my coworker and I have accomplished. We were able to create a website that meets the client's requirements and looks great on both desktop and mobile devices. I believe our collaborative approach and attention to detail really paid off in the end
I feel that this project has helped me to grow as a designer. By collaborating with others, I was able to learn new techniques and approaches to design. I'm excited to take what I've learned from this project and apply it to future work.
I collected user feedback through surveys, user testing, and interviews throughout the project to understand their needs and challenges. This feedback allowed us to refine our design and ensure that the final product met user needs.
Our project was a team effort, with two designers working together to create a successful product. Effective communication and collaboration were key to the project's success.
In UX/UI design, small details can significantly impact the user experience. We focused on typography, colour choices, and layout to create a visually appealing and cohesive design.
