Some of the techniques and tools we used were: proto persona, site map, user journey, design principles, A/B testing, gestalt principles, usability testing, Figma and Github

Project Purpose

The purpose of this project is to improve the user experience of the NMDWS website, since filing for benefits can be tedious, frustrating and an overwhelming experience. The current version of the website is confusing, since content is unorganized, making it difficult for users to find the right webpage to file a claim.

Red= Urgency  

Typefaces:

Primary font= Raleway Heavy

Secondary font= Roboto Condense 

Raleway Heavy is impactful

Roboto font is light, smooth and standard
