The Michigan Math and Science Centers Network (MMSCN) provides leadership, curriculum support, professional development, and student services to educators in local school districts. When they came to 906 Technologies, their website was outdated and overflowing with unorganized resources. After working with the MMSCN team to discover their brand goals for the website, we realized that their logo was also in desperate need of an upgrade. I focused in on the Network’s purpose, goals, and audience to create designs that embraced their redefined brand. With the support of the software department at 906 Technologies, I designed an experience that renewed this brand and brought the MMSCN’s domain into the modern age of web design.
Craft CMS
With the Craft Content Management System, 906 Technologies was able to give MMSCN control over their content from header to footer. Once I had developed most of the site in HTML/CSS, I used Twig, a special templating engine, to create custom fields. These fields can now be filled and edited in the admin portal to update headers, menus, images, and more.
About Us page
To reflect the Network’s enthusiasm and passion for STEM education, the About Us page needed to be especially engaging. Photo elements and parallax effects made this page visually interesting and inviting to read. This page gives MMSCN an inspiring new look and a tool to connect with their audience.
Locations Map
An important request from MMSCN was a user-friendly map of their Center locations. With the help of front-end developers, I created an SVG map with jquery-based interactivity that provides an effortless way for users to find information for their local Math and Science Center.
