What's this all about?
+
+ Code Network's website is where we showcase who our club is, why we exist, and what we do. We need to communicate this information to:
+
+ - Students - who want to know why they should join our community and how they can get involved
+ - Members - who want to see what our upcoming events are
+ - Academics at QUT - who want to share our club with their students
+ - People in the industry - who want to know why they should support our club
+
+
+
+ Code Network is planning to rebuild this website in 2025 as part of our transition towards more open club projects. We feel that this
+ would be a great opportunity for our members to contribute to a real-world project.
+
+
+ And then we thought, why stop with the code? Why don't we give our members a chance to design our website? That's where you come in!
+
+
Your Mission...
+
...should you choose to accept it, is to show us your design skills and to create the coolest website anyone has ever seen!

+
+
+ Page
+ Notes
+
+
+
+
+ Home Page
+ This should act as the cover page to Code Network, and should provide any visitors to our site with a good indication of what our club is like overall. This is where your creativity should shine!
+
+
+ About Us
+ Could be combined with the Home Page. This is where you can go into more detail about who we are as a club, why we exist, and what we do.
+
+
+ Upcoming Events
+ Could also be integrated with the Home Page, but should serve as a quick way to see what events are coming up for our club.
+
+
+ Major Event Details Page
+ Show us, if we had a major event coming up, such as our Winter Hackathon, what should people see?
+
+
+ Projects Showcase
+ A place for our members to display the cool things they have been building as part of our club.
+
+
+ Club Projects
+
+ This is a place for people to see the projects our club is building that they can contribute to.
+ Different from the Projects Showcase in that the showcase page is more of a hall of fame, while
+ the Club Projects is where members can find things they can contribute to.
+
+
+
+ Blog
+ Where our club shares the latest updates regarding what's happening
+
+
+ Industry Engagement
+
+ Our club relies on funding from industry sponsors to run our activies. We may need to dedicate a page to telling
+ companies why they should support our club and what they would get out of sponsorship. Consider our prospectus
+ on the current home page for inspiration.
+
+
+
+ Anything Else
+
+ Show us your creativity! What else do you think people visiting our website should be able to see?
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Responsive Layout
+ For each page, please provide a mobile device-responsive version.
+ Explanation of Design Choices
+ You will be asked to provide a brief statement to explain your overall design choices in your wireframes.
