We wanted to support LGBTQIA+ people all around us.

ForUs connects members of the LGBTQIA+ community in Yolo county and allowing them to support each other through a central platform.

ForUs was created with the philosophy of Mutual Aid as it's source of inspiration. A community resource application for the LGBTQIA+ community. of Yolo County. ForUs connects members by allowing them to support each other through a central platform.

How we built it

The website was ideated and drafted in Figma and all illustrated content was created in Adobe Illustrator.

Challenges we ran into

This project was intended to be a fully developed website and high fidelity Figma prototype. This proved to be too ambitious for the time constraints given so our team pivoted it's focus to the refining our current prototype.

Another challenging aspect of this website's creation was curating and generating the site's contents. We as designers strived to develop an interface that is accessible while unique in it's style and personality.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The team overall is pleased with everything they managed to accomplish as this is their first hackathon. The concept of this project is very close to us as designers and as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We hope to further develop this project and achieve the functioning website that was initially intended.

What we learned

This project challenge pushed our collective knowledge of web design and coding to it's limits. We were very ambitious with this project and had to learn what it means to make compromises under time constraints. Most of all we learned we work very effectively as a team and look forward to working together in the future. Also, the importance of taking breaks and stepping away to come back with a refreshed mindset.

What's next for ForUs

The plan moving forward with this project is to continue expanding and developing our concept. We'll continue refining our skills in Figma and programming. Our next pass at ForUs will include an updated design and functioning website that will appear on our collective portfolios.
