I studied in my class and researched about UI and UX for making my own website. I learned from this study that it is more important to make a website considering UI and UX than beauty. Before this research, I thought high-quality websites were well decorated. However, I learned from this research that UI and UX are needed in harmony to improve a website completeness.
- Discover opportunities to improve the design
- Learn about users behavior and preferences
Before the usability test, my website had some problems. First, there were many buttons on the home page that users did not use. Indeed, it seems that the page movement was not natural. Second, I need to design a mobile version of the website with more consideration. It is true that many people nowadays search websites through their mobile phones. Through this research, I realized that when I work, I have to consider the mobile version. Although not yet perfect, I was able to work more delicately through usability test and above the research.
