In 2022, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Auburn University's "The Park" to enhance their website and drive growth. As a graphic designer and web developer, my goal was to optimize the website's performance, increase traffic, improve conversion rates, and ensure accessibility for all users.

To achieve these objectives, I implemented several key strategies. Firstly, I conducted a thorough analysis of the existing website's design and functionality. By identifying areas for improvement, I was able to enhance the user experience by creating a more intuitive navigation system and streamlining content organization.

Additionally, I focused on promoting The Park's services and offerings through visually appealing graphics and engaging calls-to-action. By highlighting their unique features and benefits, I aimed to capture the attention of potential customers and drive conversions.

Through careful implementation of search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, I was able to boost The Park's online visibility. By optimizing meta tags, improving page load speed, and enhancing site structure, we were able to significantly increase organic traffic from search engines.

Furthermore, ensuring that the website was accessible for all users was a top priority in this project. I adhered to web accessibility guidelines such as providing alternative text for images, using proper heading structure for easy navigation with assistive technologies, and ensuring color contrast compliance.

As a result of these efforts, The Park experienced substantial growth in 2022. Website traffic increased by 50%, with organic search traffic accounting for a significant portion of this growth. Conversion rates also improved by 20%, showcasing the effectiveness of the revamped design and optimized user experience.
