Community Platform

SWBA

The SWBA website was developed for a non-profit organization supporting members of the Sud-Ouest region of Burkina Faso living in the United States. The platform was intended to strengthen community connections, share information, promote events, and provide a central online presence for members of the community.

Challenge

The organization lacked a centralized online platform where community members could access information, stay informed about activities, and connect with the broader SWBA community.

The website also needed to be easy to manage by non-technical users after project handover.

Designed and developed a community-focused website prototype that provided a structured digital presence and a scalable foundation for future updates and community growth.
