Usability\/UX Test – Prototype<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All websites should prioritise usability and user experience (UX)<\/strong>. Unfortunately many websites do not. This is a design and development experiment that starts and ends with those priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an attempt to structure content\/data<\/strong> – that could easily become unwieldy and confusing – in a way that the user (website visitor) always finds easy to navigate and access, where ever on the site they happen to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design will be limited to these concerns :- a ‘wireframe’ prototype that can be evaluated before any branding and aesthetic elements are considered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Content\/Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A fictional organisation produces three main types of ‘content’ output<\/strong> for its website – Projects<\/a>, Publications<\/a> and News<\/a>. These could be classified as ‘output categories’, ‘content types’ or ‘post types’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, this organisation covers a core set of subjects, across all its output categories<\/strong>. Again, these might be labelled ‘Topics’ or ‘Themes’. We’re opting for ‘Topics<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, there is further ‘meta’ data that could be included – for example: date, keywords and author.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without going into details of the process, it is hoped the decisions and choices made in structuring the content\/data on this website, make it easy and pleasing to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
