Developing the Website for the TIM Program at Cégep de l'Outaouais.
TIM Outaouais, the multimedia integration program at Cégep de l'Outaouais, needed a new website to attract future students. In a competition involving over 50 classmates, I designed a modern, user-friendly site that addressed this need and secured first place. This project highlighted my skills in web design, user experience, and understanding client needs, while reinforcing my commitment to developing solutions that significantly benefit organizations.

User Research
User Research
I continued my work by conducting research to understand potential users, asking other students in the program what they were personally looking for before enrolling in the TIM program. With this insight, I compiled their responses and quickly identified a user type and common motivations that need to be addressed on the website.

I also determined that competitive benchmarking would be beneficial, given the many colleges in Québec that already have their own TIM program websites. Therefore, I evaluated several websites from these other colleges to understand what I could incorporate and improve in my own website to ensure it functions effectively and stands out from the others.

Reflecting on my analysis of the websites for other TIM programs in Québec, I created a list of key points and objectives to ensure the success of our website and distinguish it from competitors:

Last few iterations and approval for launch
My client and I had multiple meetings to talk about the advancement of the website. I received a lot of feedback and iterated the prototype many times. A week before my official deadline, we had a final meeting where the client approved the website and I then handed over the design for the client to publish the website by themselves as requested.
