LGBT Website
Redesign Proposal
A collective effort to complete and deliver a thorough website makeover for the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center (LGBT).
Project Overview
The goal is to learn different phrases related to the project development process. And concentrate on researching, analyzing, designing, and finally creating a workable framework that can be presented to the Special Topics class in Spring 2011 for actual production.
Target Audience
The unifying factor among LGBT's target audience is that they all share a vision of opportunity, equality, and collective power for the community. Who may be looking for aid in the form of career services, housing assistance, or advocacy possibilities.
Information Architecture
We understand the present demands and where the difficulties emerged using helpful information from the survey. We created a new sitemap to highlight the most frequently visited parts and restructured the remainder.
Wireframes
For organizing and hierarchical reasons, the new layout will rely largely on a solid grid structure. Several new features will be added to the new version to improve the operation of the present site.
Mockups
The new design will have a clean, professional, and intuitive appearance and feel. Also, for the most of the design, a neutral color palette should be used, with select hues from the current logo strengthening it. In addition, we provide a beta version of a potential mobile application for viewing on portable devices.
Potential Features
Several new features will be added to the new version to improve the functionality of the existing site, including clearly visible donation and volunteer callouts, a revamped interactive calendar capable of accepting and displaying user-generated events, social networking integration, and improved news section organization. We will also integrate CMS connectivity to make content revisions easier, as well as a new area dedicated to advocacy possibilities.
Project Management
We firmly believe in completing numerous stages of usability testing to assess whether the final product satisfies the user's expectations and demands, as well as producing a more intuitive solution. As faults are discovered, suitable remedies must be devised. Changes are easier and less expensive to adopt at this point. It is an efficient approach of detecting design flaws early in the development process.
