For this diploma thesis, we designed a web application for planning a trip by focusing on user experience (UX). The user experience design process consists of four steps: user research, design, testing and implementation. The implementation was replaced by sentiment analysis with which we collected quantitative data from qualitative one. Based on the user research we determined which information and functionalities our web application will have. We then applied our findings to design the informational architecture and prototype. After the first version of the prototype was done, we started testing it with potential users. Testing was done in two iterations and after each iteration, we changed the prototype according to the findings. We also conducted a sentiment analysis of participants’ answers. We collected quantitative data on whether the prototype met the expectations of the participants. After the second iteration of the testing, there was no longer negative sentiment present among the answers, so we stopped with the testing. With the described process we designed an application prototype that plans a trip for users according to their wishes while being intuitive to use.
