The main purpose of the master's thesis was to create a web application with an attractive visual identity and optimal user experience which was created with an emphasis on user-centered design.
We started the project in several phases, which were based on user-centered design. In the beginning, we analyzed the existing user interfaces, which contain information about mountains and mountain trails and enable searching. We continued with a survey and user interviews. Based on the results, we created personas that helped us in the following steps. We then created a visual identity in which we defined the name of the web application, created a graphic symbol, conducted a survey about the graphic symbol, and adjusted it. We also determined the colors and fonts which were used in designing the user interface. This was followed by the development of a user experience plan, information architecture, fireframes, and user flows. We then prototyped the filtration system and tested it on users. After that, we made a prototype of the entire user interface and performed the last usability test with the help of predefined tasks and a standardized questionnaire. Based on the results, we adapted the web application and thus completed the design.
The result of the master's thesis is a successfully created web application, with an attractive visual identity and a good user experience. The web application allows you to find the desired mountains and mountain trails easily and quickly using various functions. In addition, it contains important information displayed in one place that users want to know when visiting such a user interface.
