OUTWORDS is the first national effort to capture the stories of LGBTQ pioneers and elders all over America. We’ve just published our first volume of interviews, THE BOOK OF PRIDE, and we’ve launched this platform to make our stories freely available for research, information, and inspiration.
Core Challenge
The Outwords Archive has developed a platform to showcase and inspire with stories from LGBTQ+ pioneers across America. It is absolutely central to fulfilling our mission. Built in PHP, the platform requires improvements to offer a smooth experience for our users.
Current Tech Stack
PHP webapp
Proposed Tasks
Determine why home-page videos on theoutwordsarchive.org are loading slowly (I think this has to do with the fact that the full videos are loading, instead of a placeholder cover image…I believe this is a relatively easy fix — and we can provide cover images for each video if necessary)
Evaluate the images in the carousel and suggest design improvements
Suggest overall design enhancements to make the UI/UX more user-friendly
