My role

UX designer & Front-end developer

  • I worked alone
  • Low & high fidelity prototyping, diagram flows, sketches...
  • UX designer, user interface designer
  • Front-end developer (html, css, JavaScript)

Planning the week

There were two types of work, the ones that I knew how to do it and the ones I needed to learn how to do it. I knew the most difficult part would be creating the HTML page using bootstrap because I had never used it.

I decided to invest the first days creating the HTML page while learning bootstrap library and the remaining days designing the screens. This way if I had found any difficultly I could always had spent more time finding a solution to it.

Mockup HTML image

HTML page

I spent most time fixing small errors, and adapting the CSS to the visual identity they were using, because I had to did it from scratch.

I could have used JavaScript bootstrap API to tweak the menu and give it the final touch, but again time was a handicap and also I considered my work to be enough to prove my capacities.

Screens

Sketching and wireframing:

I started directly using Balsamiq for sketching a really fast low prototype and a proof of concept. And since screen 2 required some functionalities to be complented, this means more screens, I created the proper flowchart with the same tool.

InVision or Axure? Axure

I were tempted to use InVision for this project but I needed to find a good library for Material Design 2 if I didn't want to spend time creating one on my own. I couldn't find a good library for InVision and Axure had a very good one made by the community.

Screen 1. Employees list

A screen that shows active/inactive employees. It must have: a header, a search box an active-inactive filter. Info to show: photo, complete name, NIF, job and capacitation status.

Main purpose

I considered that the main purpose of this screen was to discern between active-inactive employees. I needed to define it since I couldn't reach the users to understand their needs. The main module is a basic 'Three-line' list component which changes the shape of photo frame according to the active-inactive variable.

Screen 2. Document upload

This screen it's used to upload a document for the first time or to update it. It must show: document name, employee name, current state and expiry date.

The main module is a basic 'Two-line' list component which changes the icon according to the expiry date variable. We considere documents which have an expiry date a risk for our users, hence we use the color red as a warning when document has expired.

Facing problems

  • As I couldn't reach real users to understand their needs I had to think what would be the main fuction for the screens requested.
  • Having to learn Bootstrap from scracht delayed my work, to solve this I made a clear mock-up that would buy me time in later stages.

Conclusions

  • I learnt the basics of a new technology in one week.
  • I made fast decisions in absence of information.
  • I met the deadline succesfully delivering all the requested files.
