UWAppDev Club Website

[SilliJelli]

Overview

The current website of UWAppDev is in need of redesign & reimplementation. The goal for now is to implement a set of visuals along the lines of this design (but we don't have to follow this!).
We are opening up this project for our community to contribute so that interested people may gain some Flutter/web dev experience!

How you can contribute

• Webpage content planning/organization
• Write code to implement the website
• Design website visuals
• Manage project issues, contributors, balance the workload, and check in on progress

Expectations

• Everyone
  • Attend meetings (as many as you can) and meet deadlines (if we do set deadlines)
• Coder
  • Have some knowledge of web dev, or is willing to learn.
• Designer
  • Have an eye for aesthetics
  • Have access to at least one graphic editing/web design software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dreamweaver, Autodesk SketchBook, Procreate) for the duration of this project
    • If you are interested in design but do not have access to these softwares, please let me (@SilliJelli) know and we can figure out some alternative solutions together

Join the Project!

• Contact @SilliJelli (IntelliJelly#0973) to get access to the #website channel on discord
• Meeting location: Online or HUB 337
• Meeting times: TBD, Sat. 4-6 pm for the time being

Update: dropped references to Flutter as we found it to be an unideal implementation for static hosting.
