Project feedback
My collaboration with Four Star Mushrooms has been an exceptionally rewarding experience. The team was so considerate and easy to work with. One thing that stood out for me was the given opportunity to have design freedom. This enhanced the overall working experience for me because they not only were receptive to changes but also gave us the opportunity to try different new ideas to make their website better functional for its users. If given the opportunity, I would any day be willing to work with them again. Overall, this digital asset assessment was a learning experience and learnt so much from my teammates. Basically, this is what I needed to boost my confidence. Totally worth it.

Website feature to upload User content

It was not clear if your project was currently open. I'm referring to what shows starting on 10/27/23. I can go into greater detail if the project is open and we would be considered. In short, we want to add a feature on our website where end users can upload an image of something they created (a meal with mushrooms), add option recipe, select a category and add optional user image/name. This would go to a gallery on our site, but could be used to push to social media. We would want to give the User the ability to push their post through their social channels as well to establish a viral impact.

The content would be used on the website, social media channels (developed campaigns) and as individual product information.
