The Idea:
The idea of a mentorship program for students is a concept that was originally conceived by one of us (the creators of this website). The idea was initially presented in a student project proposal for consideration as a potential student leadership project. Consequently, we considered it a noble idea to create a website for this concept for the FBLA website competition since it seemed very fitting for the requirements.
Research & Development:
When embarking on this journey, we began by researching the optimal way to make the website. We found that WordPress was the most popular and relevant solution to starting our website. We then purchased the domain and got straight to work. Over a period of time, we were able to use the features of WordPress, integrating various different plugins and appealing images to create the beautiful and fully functional website that you see today.
