NMDWS Website Redesign
New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions
The UX/UI Bootcamp at the University of California Irvine tasked us with redesigning the NMDWS website to give individuals without employment the best possible experience while filing for benefits. 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.

Style Guide
We decided to use the colors of the existing logo which includes blue, red and yellow.
Blue= Reliability
Yellow=Optimism and energy
Red= Urgency
Typefaces:
Primary font= Raleway Heavy
Secondary font= Roboto Condense
Raleway Heavy is impactful
Roboto font is light, smooth and standard
Voice and tone= Serious, Casual, Respectful and Enthusiastic. These choices are reflected on the labeling of headers and buttons.
