Low J- Yin / 0352888


Introduction


Exercise

The assignment requires to description after locking down their App concept and idea, students are now ready to proceed to UX design. The students are required to produce a comprehensive UX design document which will provide better directions for them to design the app.

Based on the information gathered in task 1, students will:
● Determine and verify their target audiences.
● Outline the content element of their app, and exercise card sorting method to achieve optimum information architecture.
● Listing the app features and identifying the application Minimum ViableProduct (MVP).
● Create wireframes for main screens




For Project 2, I focused on enhancing the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) of the BAIJIA delivery app. The project involved conducting comprehensive research, including online surveys, interviews, and card sorting activities.

Interviews: 

I conducted interviews with four friends who use the BAIJIA delivery app. The questions focused on their general usage, navigation and usability, specific issues, and suggestions for improvement.

Interview Questions and Key Insights:

General Usage:

  • Daily to weekly use, primarily for ordering food and tracking orders.
  • Convenience and variety of restaurant options.

Navigation and Usability: 

  • Mixed feedback; some find it easy, others find specific areas confusing.
  • Straightforward but can be cumbersome if the app lags.

Specific Issues and Feedback: 

  • Frequent delays, sometimes over an hour.
  • Difficult and unclear process.
  • Generally helpful but sometimes delayed or inaccurate
  • Failed transactions and lack of diverse payment options.

Suggestions for Improvement: 

  • Distance to shops and popular items
  • Cash on delivery and more digital wallet options.
  • Prefer real-time support and chat options.
  • More responsive and accessible customer service.
  • Improve navigation and reduce redundant features.


I conducted a card sorting survey to test the alignment and organization of the app's features. The results indicated that the current structure was suitable, so I retained the existing layout.

Based on the survey and interview findings, I created a detailed flow chart, site map, and user journey map to visualize the user experience and identify areas for improvement. These tools helped in planning a more intuitive and user-friendly app design.

Reflection

This project has been a comprehensive learning experience in UI/UX design. Through surveys and interviews, I gained valuable insights into user preferences and pain points. The card sorting activity confirmed the logical structure of the app’s features, while the flow chart, site map, and user journey map provided a clear direction for the redesign. Based on the assignment, I had understand user needs and preferences is crucial for creating an effective and enjoyable app experience. By all of the insights and data had gathered, helps me identify and address issues promptly. Moving forward, I plan to incorporate these insights into the final redesign of the BAIJIA delivery app, aiming to enhance usability, streamline navigation, and improve overall user satisfaction.
