The problem
Note · 01The club needed a polished public website that represented an evolving student-driven organization while staying simple enough for contributors to maintain. The core challenge was balancing visual quality, clarity of communication, and update-friendliness without adding unnecessary complexity to the stack.
The approach

The implementation emphasized clean component organization, reusable styling patterns, and deployment-friendly setup so the site could be iterated by the club over time.
