Project Overview
Redesigned the Ithaca Apple Harvest Festival website to improve user experience for one of Ithaca's largest annual community events. The original site had navigation issues and readability problems that made it difficult for visitors to find event information.
Created a fully responsive website with improved information architecture, enhanced visual design, and intuitive navigation to help both local residents and visitors discover event details, vendor information, and festival activities.
