The Prototyping process
Based on the findings from the research and analysis phase, wireframes were developed to address the identified issues and improve the overall user experience. These wireframes served as the foundation for structuring the redesigned platform, ensuring a more intuitive and efficient navigation. Once the wireframes were refined and validated, a high-fidelity prototype was created, incorporating visual design elements and interactive features to simulate the final user experience.
