Executed in 1 week across 4 structured phases, the digital platform serves as an ecosystem hub—connecting coastal North Carolina founders, investors, and resources to accelerate regional startup growth.

Jim needed a modern, streamlined digital ecosystem platform to unite entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors across Wilmington. The existing web presence lacked an effective structure to showcase regional startup events, educational resources, and investor networks, making it difficult for early-stage founders to easily connect with funding and growth opportunities.
Requirements & Mapping: Defined community goals and structured event and resource taxonomies within 1 day to maximize engagement for regional founders.
Figma UI/UX Design: Designed a clean, authoritative visual layout in Figma over 3 days, focusing on intuitive navigation for event sign-ups and ecosystem resources.
WordPress & Elementor Build: Developed a fast, lightweight WordPress platform using Elementor in 3 days, followed by 1 day of pilot testing and launch.
Substantial Lead Expansion: Achieved a 58% increase in overall lead and inquiry growth shortly after launch.
Rapid Turnaround: Completed all 4 project phases on time within an aggressive 1-week execution window.
High Client Satisfaction: Delivered an Excellent client satisfaction score with a 100% mobile-responsive design for on-the-go community members.
