Project 2: Website Redesign Prototype

[Instructions]



[Project]

In our second project, we were required to develop a prototype of our chosen website based on the website redesign proposal in Project 1. We have to use Figma to create the prototype. 

Key Pages to Include:
1. Homepage 
2. Core Content Pages (at least 1)
3. Contact Page

The website I’m redesigning is for Woo! Cafe. In Project 1, I prepared a proposal detailing my analysis, research and ideas for the redesign.

Process Work

Note:
A brief writeup in your E-Portfolio of (500–800 words) outlining the key features of the prototype, any design decisions made during development, and how the prototype addresses the objectives set in the redesign proposal.

Research

Woo's original website only has 4 pages, which is Home, Career, Menu and Services.

Pages:
1. Home
2. Our Story
3. Menu
4. Services
5. Find Us

I started this project by looking up visual references for each page of the redesigned website on Pinterest.

Figma

I began doing the website prototype in Figma.

I started doing the homepage, added the floating header which is my favourite detail of the entire website.

The next page is the Our Story page, where I showed more about Woo’s background that many people might not know. I felt their journey was worth highlighting, especially since they’ve been part of the coffee scene in KK for quite a while.

For the Menu page, I showcased the different food categories to highlight the wide variety of items Woo! Cafe offers. Visitors can find a button at the bottom of the page that leads to the full menu. For the top section of this page, I designed it similarly to the homepage, using an image background to keep the visual style consistent.

For the Services page, it was the one I spent the most time rearranging, since I was trying to figure out the best way to present the services.

Lastly, for the Find Us page I included their address, detailed opening hours, contact informations and also an embedded map.

[Reflection]

Experience 

Overall, this project was quite fun since we could finally visualise our website redesign ideas. It was also my first time using Figma, so it took me some time to get used to the tools and understand how everything works. There was a lot of trial and error at the start, but completing this project helped me become more comfortable with the software as I went along.

Observation

I realised that composition and flow are very important in web design. A well organised layout makes the website more visually pleasing and helps guide the viewer’s eyes naturally from one section to another. When the flow feels comfortable and intuitive, visitors are more likely to stay longer and explore the site instead of feeling overwhelmed or confused.

Findings

Good design is not just about making things look nice, but also about how everything works together. Small details like spacing, alignment, consistency in fonts, and colour usage can make a big difference in the overall experience.
