Description: A mobile-responsive website designed for a two-day, invitation-only research symposium to provide guests with essential event information, registration forms, and live updates.
My Role: I was responsible for the full lifecycle of the website. This included drafting the initial design in Adobe XD, developing the site on WordPress and Elementor, and managing content updates before, during, and after the event. I also provided post-event support and trained the client on how to manage the site.
Skills Used: Web Design, Mobile-First Design, Adobe XD, WordPress, Elementor, Content Management, Client Training, Brand Adherence.
Outcome: The website successfully served as a central hub for the event, providing a mobile-responsive platform for attendees to access a homepage, event schedule, speaker profiles, and registration forms with integrated online payment. The final website was delivered on time and on budget, with a complete handover and training provided to the client.
