Wireframe, UI Design

 
 

The Challenge

The previous website design was too outdated so my client requested more modern and simpler visuals. They also requested it to be brighter in color as the older version utilized a darker theme with light-colored text. The light, thin text against the dark background created difficult legibility for several of the menu subcategories. Overall the previous website also had many inconsistencies with font type and font size.

Process

First, I analyzed the previous website and created sticky notes of important functions, and organized them under each page. Then I sketched some rough ideas of the layout on paper.
