School Website Page Redesign

School Website Redesign project showing the UBALT interface design

Project Overview

This comprehensive redesign project was part of an accelerated interaction design class. Our goal was to redesign a section of the university website to attract prospective students and improve navigation. The project showcased our ability to conduct thorough research, create and test prototypes, and develop a fully interactive design.

Key Features

  • In-depth research of initial design and competitor websites
  • Paper prototyping and user testing
  • Fully interactive Figma prototype
  • Iterative design process
  • Interactive quiz for personalized user guidance

Project Details

Our team embarked on a mission to revamp a crucial section of the university website. We began with extensive research, analyzing the existing design, exploring other school websites, and identifying various options for improvement.

We then moved to the prototyping phase, creating paper prototypes that we rigorously tested with potential users. This valuable feedback informed our digital design process, where we used Figma to create a fully interactive prototype.

The cornerstone of our redesign was an innovative, interactive quiz. This feature was designed to guide prospective students to the most relevant sections of the website based on their interests and personality, significantly enhancing user experience and engagement.

My Role

As one of the two team members responsible for setting up the Figma prototype, I played a crucial role in bringing our design to life. My primary focus was on:

  • Implementing the logic behind the interactive elements
  • Creating and configuring buttons throughout the prototype
  • Designing and implementing most of the user interactions

This hands-on experience with Figma's advanced features allowed me to create a highly interactive and engaging prototype that accurately represented our vision for the redesigned website.

Outcome

Through our iterative design process and my focus on creating robust interactions, we successfully created a more intuitive, engaging, and personalized website section. The interactive quiz feature not only improved navigation but also provided a unique, tailored experience for each prospective student, effectively showcasing what the university has to offer.
