01
THE ASSIGNMENT

## The project and its purpose.

I developed OwnersDepot as a practical editorial resource for Canadian homeowners planning maintenance, improvements and conversations with contractors. The design combines an approachable publication with tools that help a reader prepare a project brief.

02
THE SOLUTION

## What I designed and implemented.

I implemented the approved newspaper-style direction as a responsive static portal: a black-and-yellow masthead, asymmetric editorial layout, topic navigation, searchable guides and a browser-local project planner. The planner keeps working notes on the reader’s device and can export a text brief.

03
THE OUTCOME

## Homeowner publication launched

The editorial website is publicly available at ownersdepot.ca. The checked production homepage matches the approved newspaper-style presentation and includes the guide and project-planning routes. The planner is a local preparation tool; contractor delivery and other external integrations are separate work.

WORK COMPLETED

## What the website includes.

- Responsive newspaper-style interface

- Structured home-improvement guide library
