Tiivistelmä
The attractiveness of websites plays a significant role in customers' purchasing decisions today. To enhance customer interaction and engagement, designing the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) is a crucial stage in developing the look and usability of websites.
The aim of this thesis was to design a user interface for a website redesign, focusing on a visually appealing and user-friendly desktop version. The design was created in Figma, considering both Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) and requirements set by the client. This thesis examined the concepts of UI and UX design, usability, and accessibility, as well as design stages such as current website analysis, competitor analysis, wireframing, usability testing, and evaluation.
The final evaluation showed significant improvements in usability and accessibility, and user testing results confirmed that the new user interface is user-friendly with enhanced accessibility. The findings highlighted development ideas. Based on the feedback, the design will proceed with a mobile version, which is excluded from the scope of this thesis. In summary, the designed user interface improves the website’s usability and visual appeal, which may positively impact customer satisfaction and business outcomes.
