Usability Test Notes
We conducted usability tests on the current CBC Radio Canada Website to identify the major painpoints:
-
Too much information
-
The colour of the site is not consistent
-
There are too many menu items
-
The logistics are confusing for the user
Ideation
Annotated Usability and Heuristic Issues
Some of the repeating issues we found while conducting usability testing were:
-
Found design to be inconsistent
-
Too much information to be retained on a single page
-
Design is not minimalistic and very crowded
Card Sorting and Sitemap
We conducted the activity Card Sorting to be able to organize the content on the site that suites the user's needs and how they interact with the product.
Creating a Sitemap allowed us to visualize all of the pages to be able to start the process of designing the navigation.
Prototyping
Style Guide
Creating a style guide allowed us to develop a cohesive design and stay on brand when making high-fidelity prototypes for both the desktop and mobile versions of the website.
Desktop Wireframes
Low-Fidelity
High-Fidelity
Mobile Wireframes

High-Fidelity
Try the Final Product Here:
After conducting usability testing on wireframes, we created the high-fidelity version and conducted more tests. The only change needed was a UI element on slider images. That change was made and the prototype was complete for the scope of this project. In the future, I hope to continue testing and building out the rest of the pages.
