The goal of this project is to review LocalStudent's website and provide a recommendation on whether it should continue to build on its old form or if it should develop a new website. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:


- Analyzing LocalStudent's existing website.


- Researching current trends in website design and development.


- Evaluating the current website's performance and usability.


- Identifying areas for improvement and potential features for a new website.


- Developing a recommendation on whether to continue building on the existing website or to create a new website.


Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:


- Understanding of LocalStudent's existing website.


- Understanding of current trends in website design and development.


- Evaluation of the current website's performance and usability.


- Identification of areas for improvement and potential features for a new website.


- A written report with a recommendation on whether to continue building on the existing website or to create a new website.


Mentorship

Learners will work closely with the product manager who is in charge of the development of the website, and who will be available for questions. They will be shown LocalStudent's website and how users experience and use our website, and be instructed to find the flaws that can be fixed, and review which solutions can be reasonably implemented through the website and which problems would be better suited to be solved through a new website.They will have 1-2 meetings a week with the Product Manager to determine their progress, give them constructive criticism and feedback on what they are doing well. Regular communication will take place through WhatsApp.

Technology

LocalStudent is a new technology startup that was created by students, for students.

We are changing the way that students work in the 21st century.

Our app allows customers to hire students for on-demand services, with the click of a button. We're like Uber for student services. Our startup is quickly growing and people are starting to take notice, as we have been featured on CTV, Toronto Star, blogTO, Narcity and Breakfast Television. Over 25,000+ students have signed up on our platform. We focus on home services right now, but our vision is to become the platform for any service a student can offer, from dog walking to web development and more.
