Climate Action & Advocacy

2025

Web Design, UI, Low-Code Development

Objective

The Climate Action & Advocacy webpage is a redesign that combines two previously separate pages: one focused on technical and scientific solutions (Climate Action), and another on outreach and systems-level change (Legislation & Advocacy). The challenge was to bring these areas together while maintaining narrative clarity, visual harmony, and actionable depth for diverse user groups — from volunteers and policymakers to students and researchers.

The core goal of this project was to transform two independent program pages—Climate Action and Legislation & Advocacy — into a centralized, scrollable hub that clearly reflects the breadth of Seaside Sustainability’s climate-focused efforts. This page was designed to serve not just as a landing page, but as a navigational gateway to multiple sub-programs, tools, and resources under the broader Climate Action & Advocacy umbrella.

Problem

While working from a rough content and layout guide, I encountered key challenges that shaped the final design:

  • Merging two long-form content pages without overwhelming the user

  • Balancing educational content with navigational purpose

  • Ensuring that visual buttons clearly function as links to subpages

  • Maintaining a fully responsive layout for text-heavy and image-rich sections

  • Structuring clear CTAs and external resource links that don’t disrupt page flow

Goals

  • Establish this page as the main hub for Seaside’s climate and advocacy initiatives.

  • Visually group and link out to related subpages and resources (e.g., Nature-Based Solutions, Zero Waste, Climate Mitigation).

  • Create a modular, scannable layout to help users explore content at their own pace.

  • Integrate image-based buttons to make navigation more intuitive and visually engaging.

  • Ensure the layout supports future scalability as more tools, reports, and campaigns are added.

  • Align the visual design and messaging with Seaside’s overall brand identity and mission.
