Wix Redesign: Philosophy Journal

# Wix Website Redesign & Refinement for a Student Philosophy Journal **Project Description** I'm the founder of **Aletheia**, a Canadian student-led philosophy journal dedicated to making philosophical writing, critical thinking, and intellectual discussion more accessible to middle and high school students. I currently have an existing website built using **Wix**, and I'm looking for an experienced Wix designer/developer to significantly improve its appearance, structure, and overall user experience. **This is primarily a redesign and refinement project, NOT a complete website development project from scratch.** The current website already has a basic structure and several functional pages. However, its design is relatively simple, and I would like to transform it into a polished, professional digital journal that feels comparable to established academic and literary publications. ## What I'm Looking For **1. Professional Visual Redesign** - Modern, elegant, and distinctive editorial aesthetic. - Refined typography, spacing, layouts, and colour palette. - A professional homepage with a strong visual identity. - Consistent design across all existing pages. - Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile. **2. Improvements to Existing Wix Pages** - Redesign and reorganize the homepage. - Improve the About, Submission, and Contact sections. - Develop a professional journal/publication section. - Improve navigation and the overall browsing experience. - Remove unnecessary elements and improve the site's consistency. **3. Journal & Publication Features** - An organized section for publishing student philosophical essays. - The ability to categorize essays by topic, submission track, or issue. - Clean, readable article pages. - A straightforward essay submission form with file uploads. - An easy way for administrators to upload and publish new essays using Wix's existing tools. **4. Wix-Specific Requirements** - Work directly within my existing Wix website. - Preserve useful existing content and functionality. - Use Wix's built-in features and CMS where practical. - Avoid unnecessary custom coding or expensive third-party integrations. - Ensure that I can independently manage and update the website after completion. - Provide a brief explanation of how to publish articles and manage submissions. ## Design Inspiration One website I particularly like is: https://logosjournal.org/ I'm interested in a similarly polished, publication-focused aesthetic, with strong typography, intuitive navigation, and an academic atmosphere. However, **I do not want a direct copy**. Aletheia should have its own distinctive branding and visual identity. ## Budget & Expectations Since the website already exists on Wix, I'm hoping to prioritize improving the design and existing functionality rather than paying for a completely new development project. I can share access to the existing website and further design references after discussing the project. **My priority is finding someone with excellent design judgment who can transform an existing basic Wix website into a distinctive, professional, and easy-to-maintain online philosophy journal.**
