Key insights into this project:

Backend mastery:
Deepened my expertise in PHP's server-side scripting and SQL's robust data management principles.

‍User-Centric Design:
By integrating user research and usability testing, I identified key pain points and opportunities, crafting a design that anticipates user needs and minimizes friction.

Brand Identity:
‍The design features a clean, contemporary look with refreshed typography, the UCL colour palette and logo.‍

Optimized Navigation:
Simplified menus and clear call-to-actions guide users effortlessly through the system, enhancing engagement and conversion rates.

In 2020, University College Lillebælt (UCL) implemented a new system for recording student well-being and the institution’s possible deficiencies. This system was set in place so that management could work more analytically and thereby attack UCL’s shortcomings more methodically. As the system grew, more values were added, and the registrants of the system began to grow annoyed with the many clicks and pages they had to go through. This project sought to simplify and optimize the supervisor’s use of the registration system so that they could get through it faster and easier.

Based on results gathered from several user interviews and a thorough analysis of the new system. This project was decided to specifically look at how the system could be optimized without reducing the data sent and an attempt would be made to implement an internal CRUD-system to handle the data easily and with more visual clarity. To bring the idea of the new solution to life, several prototypes were developed which were tested and revised before a final design was determined.

The web project has made use of PHP and SQL for the handling of data, and has, in hopes of speeding up the use of the system, made buttons and input fields easier to access by using design principles. To further speed up the use, the solution makes use of preselected values to reduce the demands of actions on the users part. This solution has since been proven through testing to be user-friendly and promote speed in registration as it encapsulates and solves the pain points that they expressed in the earlier test phases.
