Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our company would like to explore re-designing our current website with a prototype. We are always on the lookout for innovative and fresh UI and UX ideas that will help our users.
This will involve:
- Conducting background research on our existing web application for the product. We are happy to provide a walkthrough and other resources to help bring them up to speed.
- Identifying key areas of our current website and what areas of focused might return the best results in a redesign.
- 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
- Conducting UX / UI testing with real potential users potentially involving paper prototypes or other software tools to support this
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
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 redesigned prototype of our 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:
- Implementing UX/UI design using Wordpress or other web development software such as React.
Final deliverables should include
- The design screens and all assets in a shareable format
- A presentation as stated above of the final designs
