CalendAid was my first project using Webflow, aimed at creating a centralized platform for promoting and participating in events supporting Ukraine in Chicago. Leveraging Webflow's tools, I developed a dynamic and user-friendly calendar to facilitate easy event discovery and engagement. This project combined my design skills with a commitment to social impact and community advocacy.
Many Ukrainians in Chicago were unaware of local events supporting Ukraine, often learning about them late or not at all due to decentralized information sources. This lack of awareness hindered community participation and support efforts. Recognizing the need for a centralized and accessible platform, I aimed to create CalendAid—a user-friendly website that provides timely and comprehensive information on events supporting Ukraine in Chicago, ensuring easy access and fostering community engagement.
The next phase of CalendAid’s development involves iterative design processes aimed at refining the user interface and functionality. Beginning with detailed wireframing and prototyping, visualized the layout and interaction flows of the calendar interface. These wireframes served as a foundational blueprint, guiding the creation of high-fidelity mockups that incorporated feedback gathered from user interviews and usability testing. The iterative approach prioritizes creating intuitive navigation pathways and presenting event information clearly, ensuring users can easily discover and engage with events.
For better usability, I’ve also added a search bar that dynamically filters events, as well as “Today” and “Date” filters as well as “Share” options.
Results
The journey of creating CalendAid was both challenging and rewarding, offering valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of no-code solutions. The project underscored the importance of user-centric design and the need for flexibility in managing dynamic content. Learning to navigate Webflow’s advanced features and integrating custom code to enhance functionality was a significant milestone in my professional development. User feedback was instrumental in shaping the final product, reinforcing the value of iterative design and continuous improvement. This project not only demonstrated my ability to adapt to new tools and technologies but also deepened my commitment to creating impactful solutions that meet the needs of the community. Looking forward, I am excited to leverage these experiences in future projects, continually refining my approach to design and development
