Desktop Design Wireframe

The initial designs were created with access and simplicity in mind. We wanted to highlight the primary feature - exam scheduling - and the initial prototype demonstrated a simple user flow for that task.

Mobile Web Design Wireframe

The page elements were oriented for a vertical scroll, while maintaining emphasis on the main feature.

Navigation

Participants were unable to navigate Home during the scheduling process, so we replaced the “resource” navigation button with a “home” button.

Design Emphasis

Participants were slow to find navigation buttons and felt design was sterile, so we decided to use more color to indicate the organization of the pages and highlight buttons.

final design

Desktop Design Mockups

Mockups were redesigned using findings from the usability study including added color and illustration, improved navigation, and a notification feature.

Additional "resource" pages were designed and linked to the prototype.

Mobile Web Design Mockups

The mobile web designed paralleled the desktop design, but has pared-down design elements and we replaced some text with icons.
