Platform Design and Development Process
Analysis and Design
| Methodology: I applied the Design Thinking process, which includes:
-| Empathize: Conducted a thorough analysis to understand the needs and behaviors of users in the sustainable energy services sector.
-| Define: Identified specific user problems and their expectations for the e-commerce site.
-| Ideate: Generated ideas and solutions to improve the user experience, considering navigation and product presentation.
-| Prototype: Used Figma to create interactive prototypes and Balsamiq to design wireframes, ensuring solutions were effective and tailored to user needs.
-| Test: Conducted tests with real users to validate solutions, continuously refining the design based on their feedback.
| User-Centered Design: Implemented user-centered design principles to ensure the site was intuitive and easy to use, adapting to the needs of end-users.
| Atomic Design: Applied the atomic design approach to build a modular interface, facilitating a coherent and reusable structure that guaranteed a consistent and efficient user experience.
Platform Development
| Implementation: Developed a secure and optimized e-commerce platform, setting up key functionalities such as shopping cart, payment gateways, and shipping options. This ensured a smooth and secure shopping experience for users.
| Tools and Processes: Used tools like Figma and Balsamiq during the design phase to create and refine prototypes and wireframes. The technical implementation was carried out on a platform that supported the required functionality and optimized site performance.
Results
| User Experience: The design and development resulted in an intuitive user experience, with smooth navigation and clear presentation of sustainable energy services.
| Conclusions: The integration of Design Thinking, user-centered design, and atomic design allowed for the creation of an effective solution that improved the user experience and facilitated the purchase of sustainable energy services online.
