WDCC (Web Development & Consulting Club) is a student-led organisation at the University of Auckland that bridges the gap between academic learning and industry experience.

The club provides students with opportunities to work on real-world projects for real clients, participate in workshops and events, and gain practical experience beyond university.

As both a co-designer and frontend engineer on the project, I was responsible for helping define the visual direction of the redesign while also implementing many of the site's most technically challenging components.

The existing website no longer reflected the organisation it represented. Originally built when WDCC was significantly smaller, the website had become increasingly disconnected from the club's growth and goals.

WDCC sits uniquely in position between a student club and a professional technology organisation. For students, the platform needed to feel approachable, authentic, and inspiring. Visitors should immediately understand that WDCC offered genuine opportunities to learn, build, and gain real-world experience.

For sponsors, industry partners, and university stakeholders, the website needed to demonstrate credibility, activity, and impact.

The redesign of the website focused on demonstrating the club's identity through interaction, visual design, and evidence of impact.

Previous projects, upcoming events, workshops, and sponsor relationships became part of the website's experience, providing visitors with clear proof of the opportunities available within the community.

To support this vision, the website incorporated interactive visual experiences and custom 3D elements that reflected the technical creativity of the organisation. These interactions were designed not as decoration, but as a way of communicating the culture of a club built by technologists.
