From this internship, I have learnt and evolved a lot as a UI/UX designer. Here are some key achievements from this project:
Merged two platforms into one: This helped the company to use one single domain without redirecting to another site to enable the same features
Implemented project design process: This creates structure and makes our workflow easier for us but also allows more robust communication with other teams.
Established a design kit: This gives a long-term consistency for the company’s look in different platforms.
Established a design system: This has helped the tech development team and the marketing team to understand the reasons why we implemented several components on our prototype.
During the research, we applied the Happy/non-happy path test plan to locate any pain paths while testing the previous website and inserted data into a sheet.
User profiles, song upload features, as well as the lack of notifications for website features, are critical issues found during our testing of the Wix website. The website itself consists of a redirected link to an app for the features. We discussed this with the company and confirmed redesigning the website while implementing the app functions into the website as well.
1
Involve and consider from an engineering standpoint.
When making designs, I should communicate more with the tech development team to know whether they can create the designs I made, and tune down the complexity of website interactions when necessary.
2
Every project consists of ongoing user testing.
After finishing the first MVP, instead of collecting user feedback for once, it is crucial to keep refining the designs and continuous conduct user testing.
3
Focus on building one MVP.
During our project, we have made three MVPs for every two weeks. Instead of making different versions of the design, the involvement in user testing is much more needed for a prototype.
