Check out my team's Medium article explaining the project in-depth:
Develop for Good - 1Day Sooner Team
Project Managers: Emily Xu (Data) & Alex Hu (Design)
Data: Lilian Wang | Designers: Myself, Sohini Kar & Katherine Yang
Weeks 1-2: Research
We started off by individually compiling research on the user needs, pain points, and overall goals of the existing Squarespace-hosted website. Afterwards, we mapped out our main rough user journey flow charts based on: the main purposes of each user & the information groupings we had.
Weeks 3-4: Rough Mock-Ups
We then created out own rough mock-ups in Figma based on our individual flowcharts, and narrowed down the versions based on: how well it aids the user in their goals, how well it address the problems we identified, usability of the site, and ease of implementation into Squarespace.
Weeks 5-7: Final Mock-Ups
For the final design phase, our team sectioned off parts of the website to create on our own based on the rough mock-ups we each created. We also finalized specific fixed design assets. I was in charge of creating the high-fidelity mock ups for "About COVID-19 Human Trials" and sections of the "About" page ("Press" and "What We Do").
Weeks 8-10: Implementation
We successfully implemented the new design changes into Squaresquare using content blocks and code injections, taking in consideration feedback given from the non-profit throughout the process and including the use of easy accessibility for any future changes.
