Inspiration
One of the many problems in today’s day and age is the lack of interaction between individuals in our society. Since our division was community, we wanted to focus on bringing members together in a way that benefits the world around us. One of the first things that came to mind to incorporate both of these factors was volunteering.
What it does
The main purpose of our project is to bring our community together in a way that improves our society. Volunteering allows us to target this issue because it increases interaction between individuals, facilitates new relationships, and helps the less fortunate. Due to the lack of enthusiasm, we decided to add features in our website that allow the users to find volunteer opportunities based on their personal interests.
How we built it
We built this website using HTML and CSS. We used both languages to create a simple, easy-to-navigate website that brings our community together, and makes volunteering accessible to everyone.
Challenges we ran into
We struggled with adding functionality to some of our features. We also struggled with some of the styling elements on our cities page. Another challenge was making sure that we had a functional website within the time limits.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the special features in our website, such as the maps for each volunteer opportunity, opportunities sorted into categories, and the "quick links" bar.
What we learned
We learned a lot about adding functionality and features to a website. We also learned a lot about website design and styling.
What's next for Volunteer Finder
In the future, we hope to add functionality to our about us page, contact us page, and add an event page. We also plan to add functionality to our search bar so that people from around the world can use our site.
