The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program (WCPP) was formed in 2001, as a partnership between the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), in response to the increasing number and severity of wildlife vehicle collisions in BC. WCPP is administered by the BCCF, with funding and support from government agencies, crown corporations, and both public and private organizations.

The intention of the WCPP is to make BC's highways safer for both people and wildlife. A major focus of the WCPP is to provide education and awareness for motorists on wildlife vehicle collision prevention. 

We would like to work with students to update our existing website to improve the aesthetics, usability, and increase the number of site visits from the public.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Researching different site-building tools and their associated advantages / disadvantages.
• Conducting a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable.
• Building a website, with our assistance in providing the content.
• Providing training on updating and maintaining the website.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of website platform options
• Identification of the most suitable platform
• Development of a website using the most suitable tool
• Recommendations for website maintenance

Bonus steps would include:

• Testing the website with users and making improvements based on user input

Final deliverables should include

• A website prototype.
• A final report.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our current products and website design
• Our customer and industry insights
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
