ECE Department's Home Page Redesign
Turning an academic homepage into a student recruitment portal

Watch me turn a university homepage, once cluttered and difficult to navigate, transform into a student-focused digital experience. This redesign not only improved information accessibility and visual appeal but also strengthened recruitment efforts and stakeholder alignment; all while respecting U of T's own brand guidelines and the WordPress CMS's technical constraints.
