A school project made in Wordpress in 2022 for a Swedish lamp fixtures company. My peer and I re-designed this website and opted for a user-friendly design.
By conducting interviews and observations with users we gathered insightful information about what could be improved with the website. A persona was created and
lo-fi and hi-fi prototypes was created before the implementation of the website.

Details
We started with contacting potential companies that would be interested in a re-design of their website. We got hold of a small lamp fixtures
company that wanted some freshen up! In the process we got to have frequent meetings on Zoom, and constantly e-mailing back and forth. We created
moodboards, personas and scenarios to have something to start the project. Meanwhile, also trying to find participants for our interviews and observations
for our before and afters on the website. We later on created lo-fi prototype and moved on to hi-fi prototyping after conducting the interviews.
We worked in Wordpress so we mainly used a block plugin so that it would be easier for the owner to take over afterwards and produce his own
materials. After finishing the website, we conducted observations where the participants would screenshare and use the website. From that we could
gather feedbacks what was good and bad.

Lessons
I remember one of the lessons I learnt while doing this project back in 2020, that you had to have lots of patience as my peer and I
encountered a language barrier with the business owner. It caused some misunderstandings between the parties, but in the end we managed to create a design and
text writing that he liked!
