The EPLA Website DesignI worked with a team to create this website prototype for the Early Pregnancy Loss Association (EPLA). My team gathered information from the EPLA's founder and used it to write and design this prototype. We then user tested and revised it according to the users' comments. After we submitted the prototype to the EPLA, they published a site largely based on the content we created. You can view both the prototype and the live website by clicking the buttons below.
