High-Fidelity Prototype
Chris is a 26 year-old, medium- to low-income gamer who needs an eCommerce website that provides focused, relevant information about the gaming equipment he is purchasing because he gets overwhelmed by the number of purchasing options online.
This is a user journey map for Chris as he is trying to purchase a new gaming controller online. He feels confused and overwhelmed during the process.
Commercial apps and websites all share very similar designs. When constructing this wireframe, I sought to combine some of my favorite elements from different sites into one composite homepage.
First round of digital wireframes. My goal was to ensure a smooth purchasing experience with reviews and user scores being prevalent.
Mock-ups of the iterated wireframes. User testing revealed that users preferred to make their own decisions before looking at reviews, so reviews were made less prevalent in the design.
Outcomes
Designed a responsive app from scratch
Gained experience conducting user research with real users
Learned the basics of designing wireframes, mock-ups, and prototypes with Figma
Learned the basics of the UX/UI design process
