Overall Research Team goals#

Improve the website and user flows of Donors, Partners, and Volunteers, to make their tasks easier, more intuitive and enjoyable. At the same time we need to have content that educates and gets all user demographics excited about what Hack for LA has to offer.

Current Status of website#

We are at the tail end of the Hack for LA Home page relaunch. We are making sure all pages that are navigable and linked from the homepage are accounted for and built properly. We are also working to make sure that the design system can be more effectively and efficiently used.

Pages that are built but currently not available to user via the menu (putting last finishing touches on them)#

• Figma prototype of new homepage design (this page has the old menu, it will be changing)
• Figma prototype of new top menu
• https://www.hackforla.org/program-areas
• https://www.hackforla.org/citizen-engagement (each program area will have its own subpage)
• https://www.hackforla.org/about/

Future Direction#

After the new site launches with improvements, we will then be able to greatly start improving the user experience for all user demographics.
