SAMAHAN "All for More" 2024-2025

All for More is the commitment to a SAMAHAN that puts students first—rooted in the Ignatian ideals of Magis, Cura Personalis, and Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. It aims to build a community that listens, empowers, and grows with every Atenean, using shared talents and values to create a more inclusive, responsive, and uplifting student experience. Together, Ateneo goes All for More.

The “All for More” website serves as a single source of truth for Ateneo’s 2024-2025 visual identity, bringing together all key brand assets—logos, color palettes, and typography guidelines—into one streamlined interface. By centralizing these resources, the site ensures that every department and campaign can maintain a cohesive look and feel, reducing inconsistencies and speeding up creative workflows. Each of the student‑body’s advocacies is given its own interactive showcase, complete with embedded video explainers, impact statistics, and clear calls to action. Visitors can dive deep into causes ranging from environmental sustainability to mental health awareness, exploring rich media and real‑time engagement metrics that drive deeper connection and participation beyond the classroom.The “Meet the Team” section features dynamic for each officer, pairing professional headshots with concise bios and direct contact links. This design choice demystifies student leadership, making it easy for constituents to identify the right person to reach out to and fostering a culture of transparency and approachability.

SAMAHAN required a professional online presence to communicate its activities, values, and information effectively to the student body and the wider Ateneo community. The project ran from September to December in two‑week sprint cycles, each anchored by formal stand‑up meetings to plan, develop, and review features. During this period, we concurrently built backend services, frontend components, and CMS integration, supplemented by systematic usability testing, accessibility validation, and performance optimization. After final quality assurance in early December, the site was deployed, launch‑week performance was monitored, and a retrospective captured insights for future enhancements.

The key requirement was a clear information architecture to allow users to easily navigate between different types of content – branding, events, and organizational details. The application was built using React and TypeScript on the frontend, providing a responsive and type-safe user interface. On the backend, NestJS was used to create a scalable and maintainable server-side architecture, ensuring efficient handling of API requests and business logic.
