IDEATION
After interviewing both members and faculty of Shake A Leg, we understood that digitizing the paper system was at the forefront of their goals. Members and employees also wanted to show what SAL is and what they do had to be evident. They expressed importance in showing both the activities and the testimonials of current members was crucial in showcasing the unique services offered at the organization.
INTERACTION DESIGN
WIREFRAMES
USER TESTING
Using the lo-fi wireframes, we conducted a usability study. Overall, there were high completion rates and quick completion times. Even though there was an improvement from previous image to text contrast, users thought more contrast on between image and text would be helpful .
FINAL DESIGN
Incorporating our findings from our meetings with SAL staff and members and user testing, the final design reflected an visually driven site that showcased the unique capabilities of SAL.
