About the project

The brief was to overhaul the Code for America wesbite and deliver a system of modular, responsive components.

The components needed to be flexible enough that they could be assembled in different combinations so voluteers can build their own templates as Code for America expands.

The markup needed to be minimal, forgiving, and well documented, as people with a range of technical abilities would be creating their own pages.
