Say Hello to Rick.
Our Magical Wizard!
Through his guidance, Rick’s goal is to take your kids on a quest to learning about the importance of money and ways to help young inquiring minds into their young adult lives.
Project Goals:
For this project, I had to create wireframes for parents to learn about what the website has to offer and a way for parents to sign their children up for their first class. The goals were to:
Conduct research to better understand user needs.
Organize results to beer understand the user’s mental model.
Create low and mid-fidelity prototypes for users to test.
Our Team
First Ever Flatiron PD Flex Team Project!
1st Step: Research
We conducted a google survey with a goal of understanding of children’s needs for technology, challenges, and interests.
Participant goal:10 users
Final Participant Count: 13 Users
2nd Step: Organization
From the information we collected, We created a problem statement.
I then created open card sorts, user flows, and a site map. There were also other ways my teammates organized the information, such as a user persona.
3rd Step: Testing
Wireframes were created for users to test. Each prototype was created with an end goal in mind for each setup. Task Scenarios were also created for users to complete the tasks.
Calendar
Login Screen
Class Selection Screen
User Profile
Usability Test Plan
Metrics were set up to make sure user’s were able to reach the goal screens in a certain amount of clicks and that they were able to understand what goals were being presented.
Task Scenarios
Sign up for the first class called Money 101.
.
Log into the student dashboard to re-schedule the saving & budgeting class to the next available date.
.
Log into the parent dashboard to check your child’s progress.
.
User Results:
Task 1: 7 clicks
Task 2: 8 clicks
Task 3: 7 clicks
What users liked:
Concept
Flow of screens
Easy to follow tasks
Recommendations:
Re-wording of task scenarios
Re-work button designs
Next Steps:
With the completion of this project, there are some things that I will apply to my designs in the future:
Apply WCAG standards to prototypes.
Design for other devices formats.
Apply high-fidelity colors and typography to design.
Reflection:
There are a couple things I have learned from the completion of this project:
Testing multiple times on a prototype is very important.
Creating a space for children and parents to learn and be engaged is incredibly important.
Teamwork can truly create a project that surpasses all your expectations.
