Physics and Cosmology Website
About
My team and I redesigned a website for a physics and cosmology professor at UCI. The purpose of this website was to allow high school students and teachers to ask questions about fundamental physics.
Goal
The client's current website was lacking engagement and user-friendliness. Our goal was to revamp the website so that people who are interested in this topic could have a engaging user experience while obtaining useful information along the way.
