Project Overview: Metafiction is a startup focused on making science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education engaging and interactive for children and teenagers. The startup aims to convert science and math books into interactive games, create virtual science laboratories, provide intelligent multimedia libraries with interactive books and educational games, and offer robotics and computer programming education.
Introduction: Dr. Reza Mohammeddost commissioned the creation of a website that would appeal to kids and be user-friendly. The goal was to design a platform that would attract children while conveying a sense of technology and science to spark their interest in STEM subjects.
Challenges: The main challenge was creating a design that was engaging and appealing to kids while also triggering their interest in science and technology. This involved ensuring the website was simple, user-friendly, responsive, colorful, and visually attractive to a younger audience.
Approach and Solutions: To address these challenges, I held multiple sessions with the client to understand their vision and the services they offered. I then researched and found a suitable theme that matched the project requirements. Using my experience with Elementor and Revolution Slider, I built a website that met and exceeded the client’s expectations. I focused on creating a vibrant and engaging design that was easy to navigate, ensuring that children would find it both appealing and user-friendly. Additionally, I implemented several security customizations to protect the website and its users.

Technologies Used:
- WordPress
- Elementor
- Revolution Slider
- Custom CSS
Results and Impact: The project was a success, with the final website being well-received by both the client and its users. The site effectively engaged children and encouraged their interest in STEM subjects. This project enhanced my understanding of designing for a young audience and how to create an engaging and educational online experience.
Conclusion: The Metafiction project was a valuable experience in understanding the needs and interests of a young audience. It reinforced the importance of creating a simple, user-friendly, and visually appealing design to effectively communicate educational content. This project further developed my skills in working with Elementor and Revolution Slider, and in tailoring designs to specific user demographics, along with enhancing my ability to implement necessary security features.
