Process
I had a total of 4 weeks to work with. Initially, I had limited knowledge of Gavesh Travels and the project scope. By the end of the 4 weeks, we had the foundations of the website built and documented. With the limited time available, it was crucial to have a clear plan for each stage of development and to track progress effectively.
Stage 1 (Weeks 1-2)
Week 1
Gathered context and a deep understanding of Gavesh Travels, their services, and their target audience. Conducted initial UX research and analysis.
Week 2
Developed the basic structure of the website, focusing on information architecture, navigation, and user flow. Started designing the visual elements using Adobe Photoshop and Figma.
Stage 2 (Weeks 3-4)
Week 3
Refined the design elements, including typography, color palette, and imagery. Implemented a responsive design approach to ensure compatibility with various devices.
Week 4
Integrated the design into WordPress and began development of the website. Applied the design system to key components of the site, such as forms and interactive elements. Conducted usability testing and made necessary adjustments based on feedback.
By the end of the 4 weeks, we had successfully launched the Gavesh Travels website, providing them with a strong online presence to showcase their services and attract more customers.
Outcome
After four weeks of intensive development, the Gavesh Travels website has been successfully launched. The website now stands as a comprehensive platform for travelers to discover and plan their trips to Sri Lanka, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the country. The implemented design system ensures a seamless and engaging user experience, with clear navigation and visually appealing layouts.
