Testing

To validate the effectiveness of the new design, we conducted usability testing with PAH patients and caregivers. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with users reporting improved ease of use, better access to resources, and a more engaging community experience.

Project type: End-to-end Website + branding

Introduction

BISO (Breathe In Speak Out) by Jenssen is a community-focused website that provides resources, support, and a platform for individuals living with Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH).

As the UI Designer for this project, my goal was to revamp the website using the Bento Box theme, improve user experience, and create a visually appealing and easy-to-navigate platform while utilising the limited photo headshots provided.

BISO (Breathe In Speak Out) by Jenssen is a community-focused website that provides resources, support, and a platform for individuals living with Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH).

As the UI Designer for this project, my goal was to revamp the website using the Bento Box theme, improve user experience, and create a visually appealing and easy-to-navigate platform while utilising the limited photo headshots provided.

Problem Identification

The original BISO website had several issues, including outdated design, complex navigation, lack of mobile responsiveness, and limited visual appeal due to limited photo headshots. These issues were causing frustration for users and making it difficult for them to access important resources and connect with the PAH community.

Research

To better understand the needs and goals of BISO's users, I conducted the following research activities:

01

Analyzed website analytics to identify user behavior and pain points

02

Conducted interviews with PAH patients and caregivers to understand their needs and challenges

03

Researched other PAH-related websites and community platforms

04

Reviewed existing user feedback and complaints

Ideation

Using the insights gathered from research, I started generating ideas for the new BISO website design. I explored different layouts, navigation structures, and visual styles that would address the identified user needs and goals, while keeping the Bento Box theme in mind.

Reflection

This project was a valuable learning experience and an opportunity to apply my UI design skills to a meaningful cause while working within specific design constraints. The positive feedback from the BISO community was a testament to the impact that thoughtful design can have on the lives of people facing serious health challenges. In the future, I will continue to prioritize user needs and accessibility in my design work, and explore new ways to create engaging and supportive digital communities.
