Website Designer/Developer (ONSITE)

Project Overview

DLNR aims to redesign CCMACs current WordPress website to improve user experience and incorporate a new section dedicated to the Climate Action Pathway. This economy-wide document encompasses various sectors such as Energy, Transportation, Material Waste Management, Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses. The user of the website should be able to navigate across these different sectors and subsectors (in total between 20-24 categories) through an engaging and visually arresting experience: clicking on a grid of photographs each representing a sector to access succinct text, data and case study information for that sector, as well as concrete policies, programs and projects in each area. The redesign of the website and the new Climate Action Pathway section should result in a comprehensive, user-friendly interface for accessing and understanding Hawaii's climate action strategies across multiple sectors. The redesign of the whole CCMAC website should result in a comprehensive, user-friendly interface for accessing and understanding the topics that the Commission is engaged in.
