// 08 Exsisting problems
-
The website's structure is not user-friendly, which can cause confusion and lead users to unintended pages.
-
The information on the website appears to be disorganized, with unclear connections between text and graphics, making it difficult for users to grasp the intended message.
-
Ensuring proper color contrast and readability can greatly enhance the user experience and improve the overall effectiveness of the website.
// 06 Wow! & Prototypes
During the collaborative process with peers from diverse backgrounds, I acquired valuable skills in effectively working as a team while staying informed and up-to-date. A key takeaway from the workshop was the use of design components, which not only contributed to a consistent final prototype, but also aided in future front-end development. Moreover, I benefitted from the expertise of mentors who shared their industry experiences and knowledge of real-world UX design in team settings.
// 07 Evaluations
Although we encountered several challenges during the intense 2.5-day design experience, one significant hurdle was reconciling differences in mentor design habits that initially impeded progress in the early stages of UX research. However, we eventually settled on a strategy and successfully moved forward. Additionally, I assisted with WordPress content management, which will enable clients to better manage information in the future. Moving forward, the project will extend to front-end development.
