Consider It Energy Website Revamp
Consider It Energy, a company focused on sustainable energy solutions, seeks to enhance its online presence by revamping its existing website.

The goal of this project is to create a visually appealing, easy-to-navigate website that effectively communicates the company's mission, services, and achievements. The project will involve updating the website's design, improving its functionality, and ensuring it is optimized for both desktop and mobile devices. Learners will apply their knowledge of web development, user experience design, and digital marketing to achieve these objectives. The project will also include integrating social media links and ensuring the website is SEO-friendly to increase online visibility.
