Client Goals
Waste Check, a regional authority for solid waste management, needed to modernize their existing website to better serve the community. Given the large Acadian population in the area, it was essential for the new site to be multilingual, available in both English and French. Their goal was to create a platform that serves as a comprehensive resource for waste management information, including collection schedules, sorting guides, a directory of waste management facilities, and a News section, while ensuring accessibility for all residents.
Project Scope
Boostflow collaborated with Waste Check to redesign their website, creating a modern and user-friendly platform. The site needed to provide clear access to waste collection schedules, sorting guidelines, waste management facilities, and environmental education materials in both English and French. Additionally, it needed to support Waste Check's ongoing efforts to engage the community through various waste reduction initiatives and provide updates through a dedicated News section.
Design Approach
The website was designed to be accessible and easy to navigate, with a focus on multilingual functionality. Built on the Wix platform, it features a clean layout that helps visitors quickly find the information they need, whether it's checking collection schedules, learning about hazardous waste disposal, or accessing educational materials. The design emphasizes Waste Check’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement, ensuring that both English and French-speaking residents can easily access the information.
