InnC LLC Website Redesign

InnC LLC seeks to enhance its online presence by redesigning its current website, https://innc.co, to better reflect its brand and integrate a new WordPress website development and maintenance service. The current website lacks modern design elements and does not effectively showcase the company's expanded service offerings. The goal of this project is to create a visually appealing, user-friendly website that highlights InnC LLC's expertise in WordPress services. The redesigned website should improve user navigation, incorporate responsive design principles, and effectively communicate the company's value proposition. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their skills in web design, user experience, and digital marketing strategies. The team will focus on creating a cohesive design that aligns with InnC LLC's brand identity and enhances user engagement.
