5. Mock-ups • All club pages would function like a website, but would share the same information architecture, and the same visual style • We would host the club pages under an organized domain system • Searchable directory of all clubs at a specific university
6. Administration Process • The process of creating a website for club leaders won’t require any design skills, but will be based on a series of questions: “What’s your club name?” “What’s your club description?” “How do you want your members to join?” “Who are your club leaders?” “Do you have any social media accounts you want to link?” • We were also thinking about using a typeform to quickly create a prototype for milestone 1
