Website Design

The only thing that is worse than ignorance, is the misunderstanding of knowledge. Our Institute is built on the core principal of the power of experiential learning. We hope to gain a renewed understanding of the features and design that our target market would expect in our website. We would like to collaborate with students to produce a design prototype informed by real customer input and feedback that we can bring to a developer for implementation. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Conducting user interviews and research on our industry, our target market, and desired website features. Designing a wireframe prototype for our website and mapping out user interactions. Documenting the design process and any additional insights that emerge. Testing the prototype with customers and surveying for feedback. Refining design ideas with input from experts and customers. Prototyping multiple versions of a design that includes the desired website features.

Phase Two of Information Technology

Our company, Siraj, relies heavily on information technology (IT) services to manage data. We want to develop a roadmap for getting our IT assets and capabilities where they need to be to ensure future competitiveness and success in our industry. We would like to collaborate with students to create a strategic information technology (IT) plan for Siraj based on a needs assessment. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing yourself with Siraj’s mission and vision statements. Completing a needs assessment for Siraj. Researching industry / competitor IT trends and capabilities relevant to Siraj. Recommending processes for training and implementation of an IT plan at Siraj. Drafting budget and costs for an organization of Siraj’s size. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Conducting a pilot program with the proposed IT plan at Siraj and making revisions.

Cultural Cafe Transformation

The Siraj Institute aims to transform its existing bookstore into a vibrant cultural cafe that serves as a community hub for students and locals. The goal is to create a welcoming space that combines the love of books with a rich cultural experience, offering a variety of activities such as book readings, cultural events, and art exhibitions. The project will involve redesigning the interior layout to accommodate a cafe area, selecting appropriate decor that reflects diverse cultures, and planning a menu that includes culturally inspired beverages and snacks. The team will also develop a marketing strategy to promote the new cultural cafe to the community. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge in interior design, marketing, and event planning, while working collaboratively to achieve a cohesive transformation.
