So in my final stages of adding features in my additional pages, I’ve made up my own blog format for the main page; which is recognised through the form options as well as the date and author of the post and ‘read more’ to lead the user to more of the article.
The implementation of the blog is the really enhance and personalize the user’s experience but allowing them to leave their mark on the website which is something Dumbo Feather was key in doing.
Now I had begun making the other pages and adding forms and link elements to make it a ‘functional’ and user-friendly website. I wanted this re-design of Amelia’s Website to be more in touch with its users it terms of being more accessible; so adding in features such as the shop button, the jobs page and e-mail page etc
I’ve also added a sign-up to our newsletter form to further reinforce the user-friendly orientation; although this is already an element on the original website but not focused on and not stylised to strengthen the visual language.
This demonstrates how users would navigate through my website; the colour codes demonstrate the pages that are linked.
A diary of designing and coding my first website, that is, a redesign of Amelia's Magazine's min-website; drawn from a competitive analysis of related websites, my site architecture and wire-frames and general inspirations.
