Design Process

indentify client needs

At first I along with my client sit and discuss together about website information architecture and what is they want to show. The result of our discussion conclude that I design this website to have Homepage, Product page, About Us page, and Contact Us page

Ideate & inspirations

I begin researching various coffee or drinks company websites to understand what information to deliver and what design they use. Here are some web inspiration for this project:

  • Janji Jiwa Website
  • Esnoil Website
  • Kopi Kenangan Website
  • Behance

creating user flow

Ideate process gave me so much information on what I need to do and with all that information I arranged user flow that can help me and client to create a visual representation of the steps a user would take to reach their end goal. I made user flow as simple as possible by minimalizing every step they take to their goals

1. Buying Products
2. Partnership Program

Sketches & wireframes

With all the necessary idea about information architecture and mapped out the user flow, I start digital sketching the wireframes and based on wireframes sketch, I designed the low-fi of each page

  • Sketches
  • Wireframes

hi-fi designs, iterations & changes

After that I moved on designing Hi-fi design. I purposely designed this website to look professional and simple yet can deliver powerful impressions. I don’t want the future partner business for my client look down to them because they are still young and “not big enough” to run business together

With that purpose design, I found on my way that my wireframes and low-fi design need changes. That including to exchange partnership page to contact us page as well. the reason of page exchange is so that user who come by on website only have partnership option, my client is open to any kind relation so that way doesn’t limit user choices

  • Current UI Design
  • Current UI Mobile Designs

Iterating my design is one of important things to do and with the useful feedback from user testing I can explore more on my designs. Looking at other websites and online design compilations help a lot too

Final Thoughts

lesson learned

It’s not a perfect website and not a perfect journey on my verry first project and in this project I have learned it in a good way.

  1. I can apply my skills in figma and see how far it is and I cannot say I’m the best but I can say I’m doing good
  2. In this project I focus on what client needs. That’s not a bad thing but along the way I found it’s better to use human centered design approach and focusing also researching what user needs
  3. If I have more times, I want to explore more on user testing because in currently my method it’s not verry effective. I want to use qualitative with interviewing the users instead questioning them via online form.
