For this project, we were assigned to select a city anywhere in the US that intentionally needs improvement on its government website. Within this project, we had a handful of different tasks to complete besides remodeling the design of the site. That included reorganizing the navigation tabs, and the destination of interior pages.
Creating a user-friendly layout that is efficient enough to avoid confusion. Depending on the condition the city's website is in would determine the amount of work that needs to be done. I ended up choosing St. Helena, California.
When revamping the website, I aimed to uphold the town's identity, particularly its renowned vineyards. I redesigned the logo to reflect the city and ensured that the imagery showcased the town's beauty, drawing in viewers. Besides the beauty of the city, I also restructured the site to prioritize vital information, enhancing the user experience.
Allowing the navigation bar to withhold the city's main information that is typically featured. This project was difficult but extremely satisfying in understanding the importance of creating a user-friendly and large-scale website. Pictured below are a couple of images of the remodeled website as well as a walk-through video of the prototyped website.
