Since we are going to operate in on-line beauty market, we have to choose a range of beauty products, which would be suitable for our customers, thus I have done a pre-research about the latest trends in beauty products in order to find an appropriate list of those. I have examined several platforms where women share their opinions about the beauty products, watched the review videos and gained an understanding about the needs of our target group.
Moreover, we are planning to create a blog on our web-site, where we could share news and information about the products. In this thesis I cover information about the articles we would like to post in our blog, the goals and aims of the blog, as well as, writing style and the main focus.
I have listed a range of necessary steps and principles of user interface design. Since user interface design is a crucial and important step in creating a web site. Moreover, I have listed a range of latest trends in user interface design, which would help our web site to be trendy and user-friendly. Consequently, the literature review concerning user interface design is meant to help our team to create a web site, which would fit exactly our industry and needs of our target group.
At the end of this report can be found the info-graphics and all the visual materials concerning our web page. Moreover, I have decided to test those visual materials on a small group of people in order to comprehend how people perceive our ideas and vision of good and simple user interface design. The focus group found the given materials as good and simple user interface design, and approved that they would use our services. The more detailed results and description of a focus group can be found at the end of this report.
