Redesigning an interior design service website

Redesigning an interior design service website

A UI/UX Case Study.Concept2Design ( Referred to as C2D) is an interior design company in Bangalore. They are a commercial and residential turnkey interior design services founded by young entrepreneurs who love challenges and are confident enough to meet them. Their mission is to create unique and life-changing concepts and designs reflective of the clients’ desire, ideas and lifestyle.C2D needed a top-to-bottom website redesign which relied on smart content and responsive functionality to embody their mission: “To create unique and life-changing concepts and designs reflective of the clients’ desire, ideas and lifestyle”In this article, I try my best to write a detailed account of my design journey and the entire UX case study of the redesign of the website. I am thankful to Concept2Design for allowing me to work on their website.Stakeholder InterviewThe first part of the job was an interview with the stakeholders to get an idea about the problems that the current website faces and the ideology that they want the website to represent. I believe that it’s really important to understand the thought process of the stakeholders and to know more about their views and business before you start working on their project. Talking to the stakeholders made me aware of the problem that they’re currently facing and the expectations that they have from the redesignPain Points (My Observation)The Website was outdated, didn’t reflect the brand ideology and couldn’t communicate to customers.It was difficult to navigate through the website, the flow of the website was unclear.The website couldn’t address customer needs based on their requirements.These were the main Pain Points that I observed during my analysis of the website, based on these pain points and Stakeholder interview, I set a few goals :Make it easier for customers to get in touch and navigate through the website.Find a way to distinguish between new, returning and potential customers and address their needs in different ways.Explain the brand’s values, ideology and process in an easier manner and increase user satisfaction.Competitive AnalysisI started with a list of competitors offering similar services and started comparing the features that they had in common and the distinctions that they had made.Comparison of four direct competitorsUser InterviewsIt is very important to validate the pain points with user testing and to build a better understanding of the current C2D ecosystem and determine whether users already had an existing understanding we conducted three 1on1 user interviews.I choose 3 Users who had used a similar use case or product so they could better understand the pain points or problems in the current flow, all the interviews were conducted over telephonic conversations.Key InsightsAll of the users were familiar with interior designing websites and all of them agreed that the current website lacked a proper flow, some key insights that I discovered are:There was no clear way for users to get quotationsThere was a lack of clarity in the process for users unfamiliar with interior design services.The users felt that the website couldn’t establish trustUser PersonasBased on my research, I was able to define 2 clear user types, around which I developed the following personasUser Personas created through surveysIdeation & Working towards a solutionBased on Stakeholder Interviews, Competitor Analysis and User Interviews, I made an affinity diagram and started prioritizing and combining items in chunks. The problem statement that I decided to design for was :“How can I make the website more engaging for current users and easier to navigate”Content StrategyMy Content Strategy was to distinguish the 3 core categories of online users and to fabricate design solutions for each core user :Skimmers want to find the information they need and get out as quickly as possible. In this case, it would be ideal to have a clear CTA Button to direct the user to the portfolio.Lurkers will go a little deeper and browse more of the website. Here, I included a short trip through the main unique selling points (USPs) of the service and an option to view the services offeredDivers want to take it all in and spend time exploring. For this user, the flow throughout the homepage was made easy to navigate through so the user could learn all about C2D and then a small part at the end of the page had a CTA button to contact C2D.Content Strategy tested out over a low fidelity wireframeThe SolutionI created a structural diagram ( Sitemap Flows) which showed the relationship between all components of the website, this allowed the entire team to evaluate the scope of the project and also acted as a checklist for designing and codingSitemap Flow for the projectThis is the design solution that I came up with that had a solution for every journeyThe previous home page was cluttered, it needed to establish trust while maintaining proper flow. The proposed design divided the homepage into several sections carefully separated so that each target group’s attention can be captured and can be directed to either the portfolio or directly to the contact us page.Colours & TypographyThe right balance for colour and typography is very important to set the theme that will represent the brand. It was important for the website to radiate simplicity, stability and to set a calm reflective mood. After experimenting with shades of teal, green and different typefaces, I decided upon a combination of celadon green and skobeloff used alongside champagne pink as an accent colour, the colour scheme gave a sense of simplicity and calmness. After many iterations, I found that a combination of Libre Baskerville and Poppins worked best with the colour scheme and gave a modern yet sober look to the website.Colours and TypographyWireframes and PrototypesThe three stages of Wireframing were:Paper prototype was the rough initial draft of the home screen where I experimented with different layoutsLow fidelity digital Prototype made on adobe XD that was used to finalize user journeyHigh fidelity digital Prototype made on adobe XD that incorporated the desired colour scheme and typography.The three phases of prototypingFinal Product & TakeawaysRedesign and user experience doesn’t begin with a pretty mockup, it’s founded on strategic planning and a design vision that focuses on User Feedback at every step of the process. The primary objective was to provide a digital solution to Concept2Design which would help their business, not to make an aesthetically pleasing website.The final productThe Redesign of a website is built on strategic planning, the design solution that I’ve provided now needed to be carefully user-tested thoroughly to make further improvements. As a UI/UX Designer, I believe that my job isn’t complete until the solution that I’ve provided brings significant progress to the business.Harsh Vardhan SinghRedesigning an interior design service website was originally published in Muzli - Design Inspiration on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

The Intriguing Correlation Between Interior Design and User Interface Design

At first glance, interior design and user interface (UI) design might seem like two entirely different disciplines. One deals with arranging physical spaces and decor to create a visually appealing and functional environment, while the other revolves around crafting the visual elements of a software application to offer an intuitive and engaging user experience. But look closer, and it's evident that they share a lot more in common than meets the eye.

1. Purpose-Driven Design Both interior designers and UI designers begin their projects with a singular goal in mind: serving the user. In interior design, this means crafting spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional, ensuring that residents can navigate the space efficiently. In UI design, this means creating interfaces that help users accomplish tasks with ease.

2. The Importance of Aesthetics In both disciplines, aesthetics play a crucial role. A well-designed room or application should be a joy to use and evoke certain feelings or emotions. In interior design, this might mean selecting the perfect color palette to set a mood or choosing furniture that adds character. For UI designers, it's about choosing the right typography, colors, and visual elements to make the software application both attractive and intuitive.

3. Flow and Navigation Whether you're moving through a room or navigating a website, the journey should be smooth and intuitive. Interior designers position furniture and accessories in a way that encourages natural movement and flow. Similarly, UI designers arrange elements to guide users seamlessly through a task, ensuring they can find what they need effortlessly.

4. Consistency is Key Imagine a modern living room with one antique chair that doesn't match the rest of the decor. It would feel out of place, right? Similarly, in UI design, consistent elements – like buttons, icons, and fonts – ensure that users don't get confused. Both fields emphasize the importance of maintaining a consistent theme or style.

5. Adapting to Trends Both interior design and UI design are affected by changing trends. Whether it's the resurgence of mid-century modern furniture or the shift towards dark mode in apps, professionals in both fields must keep abreast of what's popular and consider whether and how to incorporate these trends.

6. Attention to Detail The devil, as they say, is in the details. In interior design, a misplaced ornament or an ill-fitted curtain can disrupt the harmony of a room. In UI design, a misaligned icon or a confusing color scheme can hinder user experience. Both professions demand a meticulous eye for detail to achieve perfection.

7. Feedback and Iteration Just as interior designers might tweak a space based on the occupants' feedback, UI designers rely on user feedback to refine and improve interfaces. Iterative design is integral to both fields, ensuring that the end result serves the user in the best possible way.

In Conclusion The parallels between interior design and UI design underscore a fundamental principle: good design, regardless of its application, focuses on the user. Both disciplines, though different in their mediums, seek to craft experiences that are aesthetic, functional, and centered around human needs. Recognizing the similarities between the two can lead to cross-pollination of ideas, further enriching both fields.
