Key areas of improvement include:
- **Homepage Design**: Create a more inviting and organized homepage.
- **Content Layout**: Restructure content for better readability and flow.

The design should lean towards a serious academic tone, without being overly fixed in style.

Ideal Skills and Experience:

- Experience with interactive web features
- Ability to create an academic yet appealing aesthetic

Please provide samples of previous work.
