My user research and design process
Websites and web applications I create are powered by a variety of tools including and PowerBI. These websites incorporate graphic and vector components designed in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
After establishing user requirements through research, an accessible web component library is designed with supplementary documentation to assist other designers and developers with deployment.
Design systems that I build incorporate accessible colour schemes and typographies that reflect the desired organisational style and identity. These user interface (UI) components are then deployed in a Figma protoype.
Prototypes are tested with users through a comparative study (comparing the "before" and "after" user experience). Additional iterations of the prototype are subsequently refined.
Web content is then added in a manner that clearly and efficiently describes what users are looking for. All content should also support search engine optimisation (SEO) through the incorporation of carefully considered key terms.
Other SEO and accessibility enhancing features include compressed script and file sizes, intuitively named image and document files, relevant "alt text" descriptors for images, a logical "sitemap", and a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate.
