Duration: 7 days (intensive sprint) • Team: Comms/Programs + Web Dev + Media
Purpose: Rewrite and simplify NESA.Africa’s content so users find what they need fast, get excited to act, and complete key flows (Nominate, Judges, Chapters, Donate, Partners, Media/Webinars).
Primary outcomes (by Day 7):

- “Suspense + excitement” layer tied to EduAid-Africa Webinar Season (14 Oct–15 Dec 2025) and Expo (16–17 Dec 2025): countdown, weekly reveals, trailer CTA.

- Compliance (Terms/Privacy/Code/Donation Terms) checkboxes on required pages.
- Accessibility & SEO tightened (H1–H3 order, alt text, titles/metas, internal links).
2) Scope of Work
