Giving Excelerate a complete new platform/app
At Excelerate, we are developing a completely new version of our platform/app that enables users and companies to connect and collaborate on job and thesis opportunities. Our goal is to facilitate successful matches between students and companies. This is a on-going project which will be released within 2024.
The Problem
At Excelerate, there was a pressing need for a modernized version of our platform that aligns with our revamped website and incorporates new features.
Transfer of Design: Prior to this project, I developed a completely new website for Excelerate. This required me to seamlessly transfer the new website's visual profile to the platform and app.
Complex Tasks: The platform is designed for both users and companies to perform a variety of complex tasks, such as creating job posts, thesis proposals, and resumes.
User Engagement: Our statistics revealed that newly registered users on the current Excelerate platform and app were not engaging significantly after completing their profiles.
Approach
I’ve taken several steps to address this project effectively:
Research and User Tests: In the initial stages, my first task was to conduct usability tests on the current platform. This helped me gain valuable insights into the user flow and identify adjustments needed to enhance user engagement upon entering the platform and app.
Analysis: To better understand user needs, I performed a thorough analysis of the usability test results, mapping out pain points that required attention.
Sketching: I began the design process by creating rough sketches, which served as the initial foundation for the new design.
Prototyping: As I write this, I am currently designing a high-fidelity prototype that incorporates findings from my research, analysis, and initial sketches.
Results
As this is a on-going project, there is no definitive result yet. As soon as the platform/app is released, the results will be uploaded on this page.
Conclusion
Coming soon!
