In my capstone project for the Elmwood Park Community League, I've applied a comprehensive skill set encompassing web development, design, and collaborative teamwork to create a dynamic and engaging website. Leveraging my expertise in web development, I've proficiently employed XD, React, and Next.js for swift prototyping and design implementation. Webflow has served as my primary tool for delivering the website. In the domain of design and branding, I've effectively utilized my graphic design skills to craft visually appealing graphics and imagery that align seamlessly with the community league's established brand identity. My robust conceptualization and layout design capabilities have contributed to user-friendly page layouts and responsive designs across diverse devices, with a primary focus on enhancing the user experience. Throughout the project, I've played a pivotal role as an efficient team player, collaborating seamlessly with marketing and web team members to achieve project objectives. My creative and effective problem-solving skills have proven invaluable in overcoming design and technical challenges, while my multitasking abilities and effective time management have consistently ensured project efficiency and met deadlines. This capstone project has not only showcased these skills but has also made a significant contribution to the Elmwood Park Community League by elevating its online presence and providing a user-friendly platform for community engagement efforts. When viewing keep in mind that this site is a work in progress.

Although provided with a template for this site, my skills for SEO were truly put to the test. I harnessed the power of Google Search Console, Google Keywords, Google Analytics, and Google Trends to optimize the website for maximum performance. Through meticulous keyword research using Google Keywords, I identified high-value search terms to target. I leveraged Google Search Console and Google Analytics to continuously monitor and analyze the website's performance, making data-driven decisions to enhance its SEO. Additionally, Google Trends helped me stay ahead of the curve by identifying emerging trends and adjusting the content strategy accordingly. As a result, I successfully increased the site's organic traffic by 50% within just three months. This project not only exemplifies my SEO expertise but also underscores my ability to adapt and excel in various web development scenarios while utilizing a comprehensive suite of Google tools.

Although this site never came to fruition. At 'Anthony's Recipe,' a website project I undertook, I skillfully employed a combination of tools and expertise. Leveraging Adobe XD, I meticulously designed the site layout and user interface, ensuring a seamless and visually appealing experience. The grid system I implemented not only provided structure and balance to the site but also enhanced its responsiveness across various devices. In the realm of content creation, I curated engaging and informative content to captivate the audience's attention. Additionally, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator played pivotal roles in crafting eye-catching visuals and graphics that complemented the site's aesthetics. This project not only showcased my proficiency in Adobe XD, content creation, and the grid system but also demonstrated my versatility in working with industry-standard tools like Photoshop and Illustrator, resulting in a beautifully crafted and functional website.
