Details

Swim Drink Fish, a non-profit organization dedicated to community-based water monitoring, has developed an online, free-access toolkit. The current version of the toolkit's webpage, hosted on Squarespace, lacks user-friendliness and advanced customization options. The goal of this project is to enhance the existing Squarespace page to make it more intuitive and accessible for users. This involves improving the layout, navigation, and adding features that go beyond the limitations of the base Squarespace model. By doing so, the toolkit will become more effective in empowering communities to monitor and protect their water sources.



Key points:


- Improve user experience on the toolkit webpage.


- Enhance navigation and layout.


- Add advanced features beyond the base Squarespace model.


- Ensure the page is intuitive and accessible.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a redesigned and enhanced Squarespace webpage for the Swim Drink Fish toolkit. The new page should feature improved navigation, a more intuitive layout, and additional functionalities that enhance user experience. The final deliverable should be a fully functional, user-friendly webpage that meets the specified requirements.



Key deliverables:


- Redesigned Squarespace webpage.


- Improved navigation and layout.


- Additional functionalities beyond base Squarespace options.


- Fully functional and user-friendly final webpage.

Environment

Swim Drink Fish is an environmental non-profit focused on understanding and decreasing pollution in waters where communities swim, drink, or fish. We practice community science, an inclusive and collaborative approach to watershed management and research. Our methods are specifically designed to train community members to collect and share water quality information. While practicing science, communities feel more connected to their waters and culture. We provide lab equipment, resources and training for water monitoring to communities focused on swimmable and fishable waters.

We aim to turn communities' connections to water into meaningful action towards restoring and protecting local watersheds. All of us have a different level of connection to water, but through our programs that tell stories, support and build water literate communities, collect scientific data, and work to create access to blue space, we all collectively empower social and environmental change. These programs vary in scope, providing different epistemologies to capture the multitude of ways by which individuals and communities can foster their connection to water, so they’re better equipped to support their neighbours in protecting their waters from pollution in a way that is impactful for all (human and non-human).
