DESIGN CHALLENGE
My design goal was to increase the readability and simplify the navigation while doing a small rebrand of the website.
FINAL DESIGNS
Large Viewport · Desktop





Small Viewport · Mobile


RESEARCH
Benchmark Analysis
I started the project by doing a benchmark analysis. Which helped organize the navigation and legibility issues. Furthermore, I was able to look at other competitors and trends to get inspiration on how to redesign the website and mobile app out.
Heuristic Analysis
To confirm the navigation and legibility issues, I conducted a heuristic analysis with my classmates. Each person had three tasks and, I recorded their mood and comments.

Wireframes
I created three different wireframe layouts for both large viewports and small viewports. Then I selected one to prototype and test with my peers.

Paper Prototyping
The largest part I wanted to test with my redesign was the “Mission Team Plans” page. The original design had a lot of negative feedback for its legibility issue. As one person said, “It looks like a bad resume.” I wanted to divide the information up and make it easier for the educator to find what grade they needed and then the specific topic.



Lofi - Prototypes
After the paper prototype, I started designing lo-fi screens for the large and small viewports. I continuously tested the prototype and made improvements.
