Usability study: Findings
Mock ups
Based on the findings from the usability study, I implemented design modifications, including adjustments to the layout. The feedback indicated that the presence of numerous boxes was overwhelming for the users, leading to a cluttered and busy interface.
High-fidelity prototype
Implemented subtle layout adjustments to enhance the design's clarity. Numerous boxes were initially added, but user feedback highlighted that they contributed to visual clutter. Therefore, I removed the boxes to create a cleaner design.
Accessibility considerations
Sitemap
I used the sitemap to figure out how I want to structure and organize all the important aspects of the app.
Responsive designs
I delivered both mobile and desktop designs, ensuring convenience for users across various devices. Whether they access the application on their mobile phones or desktop computers, the design adapts seamlessly to offer an optimal user experience.
