‘Black Settlers of Alberta’ Capstone project
I collaborated with a team to develop the "Black Settlers of Alberta" website. Using WordPress, PHP, and Sass, we created a custom website to showcase the history and contributions of Black settlers in Alberta. The project involved extensive research into the history of Black settlers in Alberta, which informed the content and design of the website. We used wireframes to plan the layout and functionality of the site, ensuring it was user-friendly and visually appealing. Through this project, I improved my skills in web development, project management, and teamwork by delivering a successful and meaningful project.
