Design Process
The West Point Hotel project began with a meeting with our professor acting as a client. We discussed what client's requirements for this web design and settled on having weekly meetings to ensure the project goes smoothly. During these weekly meetings, the client gave us feedback and the design and how we can improve the UX/UI design. Below are images of a style tile, personas, low fidelity and high fidelity prototypes. My partner and I conducted usability testings to refine our prototypes and improve its UX/UI design.
Results
We implemented the design and created the website using WordPress. As part of our final project, my partner and I showcased the design and features of Weest Point Hotel to our professor and to a group of 90+ students.
