Q Center Website
Redesigning the Q Center website to surface events, stories, and community at a glance
Users could not quickly understand what the Q Center offers, leading to lower engagement with events, programs, and content.
The Problem
The Q Center's mission is to support the wellbeing of LGBTQ+ students at UW through events, programs, and educational content. However, the previous homepage design made it difficult for students to quickly answer the question: "What's going on at the Q Center this week?". Educational blog posts received very low engagement because of a lack of visibility. In addition, the previous design didn't effectively convey the spirit of belonging and joy that the Q Center embodies.
Our Solution
Integrated the UW Trumba Calendar system to display upcoming events directly on the homepage
Added a carousel of photos from Q Center events to visually communicate belonging and joy
Featured recent blog posts on the homepage to increase visibility and engagement with educational content
This redesign transforms the homepage into an inviting and engaging snapshot of LGBTQ+ student life at the Q Center!
