Quick Edits, Big Impact: Delivering Results in Any Situation
Not every project allows for a full-scale overhaul, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make a difference. These quick edit projects showcase my ability to identify key areas for improvement and implement effective changes within tight timelines or limited scopes. Whether it's refining a user interface, enhancing accessibility, or optimizing content flow, these projects demonstrate my adaptability and commitment to delivering value, no matter the constraints.
Bakery Homepage Refresh: Golden Crust & Co
A small local bakery needed a quick update to their website to improve user experience and increase online orders. The existing site was outdated, with a cluttered homepage and unclear navigation. In this quick project, I focused on reorganizing the homepage, creating a more intuitive navigation menu, and highlighting key elements like the daily specials and order buttons. I also updated the color scheme and typography to better reflect the cozy, artisan vibe of the bakery.
Key Edits:
Simplified the homepage layout by grouping related content together.
Enhanced the visibility of the "Order Now" button.
Updated the color palette to warm, inviting tones that match the bakery’s branding.
Improved the navigation menu to make it easier for users to find the menu, location, and contact information.
Updated look and feel to be more “mature” - per owners request.
Heuristic Evaluation of a Yoga Studio Website
A local yoga studio’s website was facing navigation issues, leading to user frustration and a decrease in class sign-ups. The main problems included unclear navigation labels, a cluttered menu, and difficulty finding important information like class schedules and instructor bios. This quick project involved conducting a heuristic evaluation to identify and address these usability issues, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
Top 3 Edit Recommendations:
Improved labeling and descriptions on homepage and scheduling page would help users better understand the variety and specifies of class offerings.
Prioritizing key actions on homepage with better CTA’s for main points of user navigation.
Simplifying main navigation menu options to be more intuitive and streamlined, perhaps through “card sorting” conducted research.
