Process
Research & Analysis: Performed user interviews, questionnaires, and analyzed competing applications to identify difficulties and user requirements. We examined rival apps and sector trends for valuable insights.
Information Architecture: Utilizing our research conclusions, we built the app's navigation and content, prioritizing functionalities and details based on user preferences.
Wireframing: We developed basic wireframes to visualize the layout and navigation, continually improving them according to user responses. Later, we created a detailed, interactive model to evaluate the design.
Usability Testing: We carried out usability assessments with a varied user base to confirm the design and pinpoint areas needing enhancement. Utilizing the feedback, we made required modifications to the design.
Visual Design & Style Guide: We crafted a unified visual vocabulary, including color palettes, fonts, and symbols, guaranteeing uniformity across the app. We also devised a style guide to preserve design consistency in subsequent updates.
Through Root cause analysis by 5 why’s method we can understand what is the core problem faced by the users and in return provide a solution for the the core issue that there is lack of engagement in studies from children especially from economically backward households
