Implement a Media Highlights Section on the Homepage with Design Mockup

[Cameron-Porter]

Description: The VetsWhoCode homepage does not currently feature a section that highlights media mentions and podcast appearances, missing an opportunity to showcase its recognition and accomplishments. Integrating a media highlights area would not only enhance the homepage's visual appeal and informational value but also increase the organization's visibility, credibility, and engagement with visitors by prominently displaying its media presence.

Objective: To assess the value and feasibility of adding a media highlights section to the VetsWhoCode homepage, incorporating a detailed design mockup to visualize the proposed addition. This initiative aims to ensure the section complements the website's overall design and user experience objectives.

Acceptance Criteria:

Design Mockup Created: A comprehensive design mockup that integrates the media highlights section into the homepage, detailing aesthetics, user interaction, and compatibility with existing design elements. Feasibility and Impact Analysis Conducted: Examination of the potential effects on user engagement, website loading times, and overall experience. Content Strategy Formulated: A plan for selecting, curating, and periodically refreshing the media highlights to maintain engaging and current content. Feedback from Stakeholders Gathered: Solicitation of feedback on the mockup and content strategy from the project's key stakeholders, focusing on feasibility, design, and content relevance. Tasks:

Design a comprehensive mockup for the homepage featuring the new media highlights section. Perform a feasibility and impact analysis regarding the addition of the media section. Develop a content strategy for managing and updating the media highlights. Collect and analyze feedback on the mockup and content strategy from stakeholders. Resources Needed:
