I introduced reasons for redesign complete with user and business requirements that would need to be fulfilled. I conducted a competitive analysis to gauge what strategies AOL\u2019s competitors were incorporating that shaped their success. Then I began looking at the site with user experience in mind. I constructed user personas based on AOL\u2019s primary audience to mimic what a typical user might look like. Then I formulated a sample interview and survey that I would conduct with AOL users to understand their perspectives. I also organized a card-sorting exercise to get user opinions on how they feel the website should be set up. I ended with a usability test to evaluate user performance and navigation on AOL\u2019s current site to understand which area(s) need the most improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/katiemone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mone-AOL-Usability-Redesign-Report.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:630px\" aria-label=\"Embed of AOL Usability Redesign Report.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-0dfe97a4-00c9-4d4f-be89-cd1f6d20b7ae\" href=\"https:\/\/katiemone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mone-AOL-Usability-Redesign-Report.pdf\">AOL Usability Redesign Report<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/katiemone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mone-AOL-Usability-Redesign-Report.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-0dfe97a4-00c9-4d4f-be89-cd1f6d20b7ae\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>back to Web Design Skills: Design thinking, user experience research, interview and survey building, usability testing, user persona creation, writing, Software: Google Drive, PowerPoint I compiled a website redesign report for AOL.
