Page-IX Academy

Overview

IX Academy is a nonprofit initiative by Page IX focused on expanding access to digital literacy, entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology education across Africa. The objective of the project was to design and develop a modern, mission-driven website that communicates the academy's vision, showcases its learning programmes, and encourages partnerships and donor support.

The Challenge

IX Academy needed more than a traditional educational website. As a nonprofit, the platform had to inspire trust, clearly communicate its social impact, and provide a compelling experience for development partners, donors, and prospective learners. The website also needed to establish a strong digital presence while remaining scalable for future programme growth and online services.

My Approach

I designed a clean, accessible, and responsive website that places the organisation's mission at the centre of the user experience. The content and layout were carefully structured to guide visitors through the academy's story, its learning pathways, and opportunities to support its work.

The website includes:

• A modern, impact-driven homepage

• An About page highlighting the academy's mission and values

• A structured programmes page showcasing learning pathways

• A donation page designed to encourage contributions through PayHero

• A contact page with clear communication channels

• Responsive layouts optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
