We began our design process with a discovery phase and in-depth research. Our team meticulously surveyed the client’s vision, working on a comprehensive audience analysis and extensive competitor research to grasp the landscape of nonprofit organizations. This way, we aligned our design workflow with the specific needs of RESTART’s target audience.
Before designing user interfaces, we established a clear and intuitive website structure through wireframing. This phase allowed us to map out the user journey, ensuring seamless navigation for individuals seeking assistance, supporters looking to donate and volunteers eager to get involved. By prioritizing accessibility and clarity, we created a foundation that enhances engagement with RESTART’s charitable initiatives.
With the wireframes as a guide, we crafted visually compelling user interfaces that reflect RESTART’s humanitarian mission. We incorporated a clean and inviting design, using warm color schemes and impactful imagery to evoke a sense of community and social responsibility. The final UI elements were thoughtfully designed to highlight calls to action, making it easy for visitors to donate, volunteer, or request support.
Recognizing the diverse ways in which users access nonprofit websites, we implemented an adaptive design approach. We ensured that the website functions seamlessly across all devices, from desktops to mobile phones, allowing individuals to connect with RESTART’s resources anytime, anywhere. This adaptability ensures that those in need, as well as potential donors and volunteers, have an optimal experience regardless of their device.
To provide RESTART with a hands-on experience before development, we created an interactive, clickable prototype. This prototype allowed stakeholders to navigate the website, test functionality, and provide feedback, ensuring that the final product fully met their needs. By refining key interactions at this stage, we optimized the platform’s usability and effectiveness in furthering RESTART’s charitable efforts.
