Donka, Inc.
Informative, not-for-profit website
Donka, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides computer training and job readiness services to persons with physical, visual and limited learning disabilities.
Completed in 2019, donkainc.org was the first major web development project I undertook.
During my time as a Computer and Assistive Technology Instructor at Donka, Inc., I noticed that their website was in bad need of an upgrade. Over several months, I taught myself Node.js and MySQL, and built this site with no other frameworks involved.
My main goals when modernizing the site were:
- Modernizing Donka's colors and branding.
- Making the site mobile-friendly
- Updating out-of-date content and removing unnecessary content.
- Improving accessibility.
The results of the transformation were very dramatic. The final result was a modern, mobile-friendly website that provides a great experience for users and accurately reflects Donka's mission.
