Website Redesign

Client & Problem Context

This project was developed within an academic setting as part of a web design and UX course, structured to simulate a real-world client engagement. The instructor assumed the role of a client, providing project requirements, feedback, and approval throughout the design process.

The objective of this approach was to replicate industry-standard workflows, including requirement gathering, planning documentation, stakeholder communication, and iterative design validation. This ensured that the project was not only design-focused but also grounded in practical project management and professional collaboration.

Client Simulation & Stakeholder Communication

Throughout the project, communication was conducted in a manner consistent with professional client relationships.

The client (instructor) was actively involved in:

  • Defining initial project requirements and expectations
  • Reviewing planning documents and design directions
  • Providing structured feedback at key milestones
  • Approving deliverables at different stages of the project

Formal communication methods included:

  • Scheduled meetings with defined agendas
  • Documented meeting notes and progress updates
  • Presentation of design concepts and planning materials
  • Iterative feedback loops to refine the solution

This process ensured alignment between the project outcomes and stakeholder expectations while reinforcing professional communication practices.

Project Planning & Documentation

A comprehensive set of planning and pre-production documents was developed to support the project lifecycle.

These included:

  • Creative Brief outlining project objectives, audience, and design direction
  • Mood Board defining visual tone, branding, and aesthetic direction
  • Sitemap establishing the information architecture and navigation structure
  • Wireframes defining layout, content hierarchy, and interaction flow
  • Prototype demonstrating user interactions and experience flow
  • Project Planning Documents including timelines, milestones, and task distribution
  • Meeting Notes documenting client discussions, feedback, and decisions

This documentation ensured clarity, alignment, and traceability throughout the project.

Scheduling & Milestones

Key phases included:

  1. Research and Requirement Analysis
  2. Planning and Documentation
  3. Information Architecture Development
  4. Wireframing and Layout Design
  5. Visual Design and UI Development
  6. Prototype and Final Presentation

Each phase included defined milestones and deliverables, with regular reviews conducted to ensure progress and quality.

Visual Direction

The mood board defines the visual tone, color palette, and branding direction of the project. It establishes a warm and inviting aesthetic using red, cream, and dark tones, supported by clean typography choices to reflect a modern food ordering experience.

Information Architecture (Sitemap)

The sitemap restructures the website to improve navigation clarity and content organization. Key categories such as menu, help, and contact are clearly defined, allowing users to navigate efficiently and complete tasks with minimal confusion.

Wireframes

The following wireframes present a focused view of the homepage in low-fidelity. Additional screens and detailed interaction flows were developed as part of the full project but are not included here for brevity.

Scheduling & Milestones

Key phases included:

  • Research and Requirement Analysis
  • Planning and Documentation
  • Information Architecture Development
  • Wireframing and Layout Design
  • Visual Design and UI Development
  • Prototype and Final Presentation

Each phase included defined milestones and deliverables, with regular reviews conducted to ensure progress and quality.

Team Collaboration

The project was executed within a team environment, emphasizing collaboration and shared responsibility.

Team processes included:

  • Clear role allocation based on individual strengths
  • Regular group meetings for coordination and updates
  • Collaborative decision-making for design direction
  • Shared accountability for deliverables and deadlines

Each team member contributed to both individual tasks and collective outcomes, ensuring a cohesive final product.

Professional Approach & Industry Practices

  • User-centered design principles
  • Structured information architecture
  • Iterative design and feedback cycles
  • Responsive design considerations
  • Clear documentation and communication workflows

Industry terminology and processes were consistently used to align the project with professional standards.

Time & Effort Consideration

The project included estimation and allocation of effort across different phases of development.

The workload was distributed across:

  • Research and analysis
  • Planning and documentation
  • Design and prototyping
  • Iteration and refinement

This ensured efficient use of time while maintaining quality across deliverables.

Outcome

  • Translate client requirements into structured design solutions
  • Manage a project through planning and execution phases
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders
  • Collaborate within a team environment
  • Deliver a cohesive and user-centered digital experience
