Our company would like to explore re-designing our current website with a prototype.

We would like a group of students to design a new prototype web application based off of our current website’s functionality.

This will involve:

• Conducting background research on our existing web application for the product.
• Learning and using various software design tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as this is the latest and greatest tool currently available.
• Creation of a screen by screen UX / UI prototype of a web application which can be used on all major browsers and be mobile friendly

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Conducting UX / UI testing with real potential users potentially involving paper prototypes or other software tools to support this

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

• Familiarize themselves with our existing product
• Familiarize themselves with a design tool of their choosing and understand how it works. We strongly recommend Figma.
• Design and build inside of the design tool all the needed screens for a prototype of a new service based on a feature of our existing product
• Present the final design screens to us with the context of all their choices they made, problems they encountered, and next steps they recommend.

Bonus steps would include:

• Conducting any sort of user testing on the prototypes to ensure ease of use and to collect user feedback.

Final deliverables should include

• The design screens and all assets in a shareable format
• The flow between various screens
• A presentation describing why certain design choice were made, trade offs between various options, if more than one options is presented
