TASK 1: PROJECT APPROACH AND PROTOTYPE MARCH
2024
A.Create a timeline of the UX design activities that will take place during this project.
Day 1-5: Research and Analysis - The first step in the UX design process will involve thorough research and analysis of Taniti's tourism industry. During this phase,
we'll review existing survey data, analyze provided documents about the island's attractions, and conduct user interviews if necessary. By understanding the needs, preferences, and pain points of both tourists and the local government, we can lay a solid foundation for designing a website that effectively promotes Taniti as a tourist destination.
Day 6-10: Information Architecture - Over the next five days, we'll focus on developing a clear and intuitive information architecture for the new website. This will involve defining the website's structure, including main navigation and sub-navigation, and organizing content into logical categories and hierarchies. By creating a well- structured sitemap, we aim to facilitate easy navigation for users, ensuring they can quickly find the information they need about Taniti's attractions, accommodations, and activities.
Day 11-15: Wireframing - In the third phase of the project, we'll transition to the wireframing stage. Here, we'll create visual blueprints of key pages based on the finalized information architecture. These wireframes will outline the layout, content placement, and functionality of the website, providing a framework for the design process. By gathering feedback from stakeholders and refining the wireframes accordingly, we'll ensure that the design aligns with the project's objectives and user needs.
Day 16-20: Visual Design - During this period, we'll focus on visual design, bringing the wireframes to life with visually appealing aesthetics. We'll develop design concepts that align with Taniti's branding and appeal to the target tourist demographic. By creating mockups for key pages and incorporating imagery, color schemes, and typography, we aim to create a visually engaging and cohesive design that enhances the user experience.
Day 21-25: Prototyping - Over the next five days, our focus will be on prototyping, turning the visual design concepts into interactive prototypes. These prototypes will allow us to simulate user interactions and test the website's functionality across different devices and screen sizes. By testing the prototypes with potential users and gathering feedback, we'll iteratively refine the design to ensure optimal usability and user satisfaction.
Day 26-30: Testing and Launch Preparation - In the final phase of the project, we'll focus on testing the website for functionality, usability, and compatibility. We'll conduct thorough testing to identify and address any bugs or issues, ensuring that the website is polished and ready for launch. Additionally, we'll coordinate with the web development team to finalize deployment plans and prepare for the website's official launch.
