Litly
Litly is a personal project, created to raise awareness about children's literacy in the US and to connect individuals with resources that support this important cause.
Data Gathering
Final Prototype
The Deep Dive
Extensive research was conducted using reputable sources such as the National Library of Medicine, Senate.gov, childstats.org, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, and Reading is Fundamental to ensure the accuracy of children's literacy statistics.
The data was compiled and organized using Notion, while prototyping was done in Figma to create a clean, minimalist design that effectively communicates key information. The site itself was built using Framer, balancing a dynamic and engaging aesthetic with robust accessibility controls to reduce motion, enhance contrast, and adjust color saturation.
Additional research was done to verify that the listed non-profits are ethical, reputable organizations actively working to improve children's literacy in their communities.
