We began the project with a collaborative wireframing process to define the overall structure and user flow of the website. Working as a group, we explored multiple layout ideas and refined them into a cohesive system that would support both RPW students and incoming users. The final structure was organized into a clear hierarchy of pages, including a home/landing page for quick navigation and overview content, a dedicated CERD section with individual subpages for each lab, and informational pages explaining both RPW and CERD to provide context for new users. In addition, we developed a contact page and faculty introduction section to improve accessibility and communication within the department. This wireframing phase helped establish a unified layout direction, ensuring consistency, clarity, and ease of navigation across the entire site before moving into visual design.

The final design brings together all wireframing and collaborative planning into a clean, structured website that prioritizes clarity, accessibility, and ease of navigation. It creates a cohesive user experience by organizing key information about RPW, CERD, labs, and faculty into clearly defined sections with intuitive pathways. The result is a simple, user-centered interface that allows visitors to quickly find information, explore resources, and connect with the department.
