Website Design

We have created multiple websites throughout our time in the L-EAF LAB, including the very one you are using right now! In this section, we would love to show some of the behind the scenes in the creation of the LAB site.

Screenshot of a website homepage for 'Lean Education Agile Foundry Lab' featuring a logo with the text 'L@B' and a navigation menu with links to Home, About, Students, Programs, Student's Union Blog, Contact, and Login. The main section has a headline 'Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow' with a paragraph about the lab's educational mission. There is a video player with a play button and the caption 'Hear from students in the lab!'

The L-EAF LAB: Branding. Design. Illustration.

Completely building the LAB aesthetics from its origin was our biggest project to date. From the origination of the logo, to color and font design, we had to maneuver through many creative obstacles to get to the current look of the LAB. The website was definitely a challenge, as it tested all the previous work we amounted, having to put it all together to a cohesive feel that prioritized a user-friendly experience.

The first 5 visible web page layouts here was handled by Shannon Liu and Juliet Roselie! Shannon joined the team for a couple months and aided in her expertise for the optimum user experience when it came to the LAB, while Juliet would take her feedback and implement it in terms of the designs themselves. The last two pages are examples of behind the scene work, from Grace He, who created the time tracker recording system for the Lab and team banner/student bio questionnaires that help keep the flow of the LAB running!

While working with Crow Box, we were given the website migration project to tackle. This included: Injecting CSS code to replicate the original transitions, creating a mobile user-friendly version of the site, and ensuring all text/pictures/spacing remain the same (if not exact!). This entire website was handled by our team member, Grace He!

When working on the L-EAF Website, we had to keep in mind that our brief was to: Design a website that adapts to various screen sizes and devices, balances aesthetics with usability with a layout that effectively communicates the content hierarchy, and guides users through the information on the site. This was our first website assignment as a team!
