Discussion with client

During the past week I have been working on the development of the WordPress website, which admittedly is taking longer than expected due to the fact that I have been learning all of the aspects of WordPress in order to develop this site to the original standard in which the client is looking for. From this, when it came to meeting the client there was not too much to show for the work which I have been making on the WordPress site as I have been learning more so than developing the site itself, and when it came to showing the client, they were very disappointed with the progress which I had been making with the site. The discussion began with the theme of WordPress and how I have been finding it difficult to understand how to develop the site using WordPress to create the wire-frame outline which had previously been worked on. I had mentioned that it might take slightly longer than expected to develop the site and it also might not be to the standard in which the client might be expecting as my knowledge has only taken me so far whilst learning WordPress. From this the client suggested if WordPress was needed to be used or if the site could be coded from scratch using the methods which I have practised being at university. During the conversation the client mentioned that they would want to host the site when it is complete to enable future employers to view the site, but after looking at the different pricing options which WordPress offers, there were not happy with the prices as they had not looked before, and began looking at different hosting sites for an originally coded site. After much discussion about the different pricing options along with the timings of when the project could be finished, the client decided that they would prefer to have a site which was completely hand coded, rather than one which was developed using WordPress. The discussion with the client ended with this point with the assignment moving forward with a new site which will be coded from scratch, along with using the new skills in CSS grids and JavaScript to create animations.

 

 

Social Media Research

From looking through the user testing results that had been collected, it was noticed that there were a range of social media sites which came up to be included within the site. Before deciding on which social media to use, the different types of which the client is currently using needed to be determined, allowing for a clear knowledge of which links can be put onto the site, along with which links would be more favoured within the industry.

To begin, a meeting with the client was scheduled to go through all of the social media which the client is currently on. From this it was learnt that there were not many sites which the client was actually on as they personally do not enjoy social media. Although they had been using Facebook, Pinterest and had recently downloaded Instagram, although they did not have LinkedIn which was brought up a few times within the user testing and would be beneficial to add to the collection of professional social media. After suggesting this to the client and offering to create an account for them, the client decided that they did not want to have any more social media at the moment, and that in time they will create an account which can be added into the site at a later date.

When researching into the social media which the client currently has, the overall view of the social media was kept professional, allowing for a clear view of how the client works along with their hobbies and interests. When looking through current interior architect’s social media accounts there were a range of similarities which could be seen between the client’s social media and those of others within the industry.

Along with comparing the client’s social media to that of competitors and agencies, the social media was developed by adding more posts which are related to interior architecture on Pinterest, Instagram and advancing connections with those in the industry. Following different interior architecture companies and influences allows for more interest to be shown in the subject across the different platforms which possible clients or employers could take an interest in.

Technical research

In order to develop a site which is suitable for the target users, technical research was needed to understand the different qualities in which the site would need to display. As the site needs to progress my skills with the field of website development, there are a range of different skills which I would like to improve on whilst working through this assignment. Two of the skills which I really want to develop in this assignment are the advancements in the use of CSS grids, and the use of JavaScript to add animation effect and qualities to the site. As these aspects both require a large amount of research and understanding for each, I wanted to work on these developments on the side of working on the actual site. This way all of the HTML and the basic CSS could be developed before the functionality of these new skills could be introduced into the website.

To begin, the first new skill I wanted to improve was the use of CSS grids, as it can be applied to websites in so many ways and has become a new trend within website design of which I believe I should learn before going into industry. After looking through a wide range of different sites including w3schools and css-tricks the concept of CSS grids was still rather confusing, and even though the concept was testing using text within brackets and adding background colours to each element to test how they would look within a browser, the concept was not working and I was very confused as to why. From this I decided to look for online visual tutorials so that the code which was being produced could be seen and visually demonstrated how each section would work. YouTube was then referred to, and using this the most useful tutorial was found to progress my skills within CSS grids. A tutorial by mmtuts on the use of CSS grids and how to use them really explained the process very well and after testing the process alongside the video using divs and elements which are styled using the process seen in the video, it really showed me how to use CSS grids. After working through the video multiple times, I realised all of the different opportunities which CSS grids provides and how each individual element could also be styled within a grid with a grid of its own. Moving forward from this video, I attempted using CSS grids on a separate website which I had created last year during university. By separating the different sections of the site into divs, inside one large collective div which would be the grid they could be styled using grids, and given grid-areas, allowing for the elements to be styled in specific places within the grid, in an easier way then defining their specific grid row and column for each element.

After understanding the workings of CSS grids, I then moved onto learning more about the use of JavaScript within animation. To begin understanding JavaScript it had been a while since the language had been previously looked at, so I wanted to work from the beginning, allowing to go back through the different processes and theories within the language. To start this I have been reading through a book by Jon Duckett on JavaScript and JQuery  which starts from the beginning when learning how to use JavaScript. After reading through the first few chapters the book goes into detail about different functions and methods within JavaScript. Through this section of the book I learnt how to set and call functions, along with adding simple data into a function to produce an outcome. Creating and destructing objects were also passed over through the book, with the current section of the book that I am now working on being arrays. Overall the book has progressed my knowledge of the subject but I was still finding it difficult to apply this to specific elements of the site which I was looking to add the script to. So, YouTube was then turned to as I followed along tutorials to help progress my skills. By following the tutorials on YouTube the skills learnt to develop simple JavaScript to create different feedback to the user was obtained, allowing for user feedback to be created on the button within the portfolio site. Moving forward with this I would like to add more animation elements to the website to make it more interesting for the user, and to add more functionality to the site. As my knowledge progresses with this assignment I hope that the elements which I would like to be included will be able to get developed in time for the deadline of this assignment.

Research into WordPress

When starting this assignment it was decided that WordPress would be used to create the finished site, as it had never been used before and would be provide a good starting insight into how to use WordPress and all of the necessary elements which would need to be included whilst using WordPress. Along with the hosting options and content management systems which could be utilised whist creating a WordPress site, it also provides the option for the client to make small changes once the site is finished if they want to add different elements.

To begin the process of developing the WordPress site Brighton Domains was logged into and an account with WordPress was set up with the accompanying software onto my laptop. With the new account set up alongside the blog account which has been developed to document this assignment a simple theme was chosen for the new portfolio site which could be easily edited and changed to allow for as much originality as possible within the site. Before starting on the site, more knowledge was needed to really understand WordPress and it’s inner workings. To do this a wide range of different YouTube videos were watched to understand not only the layout of the files but also how to access the back end of WordPress altogether. From watching the different tutorials on how to access the back end files, a problem occurred almost immediately which was that the files were not accessible on the software which I had downloaded onto my laptop from Brighton Domains. After looking into this problem, there were no tutorials which could be found to overcome this issue, so WordPress was opened directly from the official website and then downloaded separately onto my laptop. Once downloaded from the official website the option to view the back end files were available. A new account was then opened and a basic theme was applied to the site with the HTML, CSS and PHP files which could be accessed.

To learn more about how WordPress works, more tutorials were watched and read to understand how the files could be changed and improved in order to develop a site which is completely customised to the standard which the client has asked for. Through the extra research it was learnt that the design of the site could be changed as long as the template for the site was not changed, but added to. This would mean that any changes which would be made to the site would need to go at the bottom of the code which was already in place for the template. Although classes and id’s could still be added to elements to specifically style them, it was noted in a wide range of sites that too much editing to the current code could break the template and the site in general.

Along with the option to edit the code of the site, there is also a basic editor within WordPress which is mostly used by those who do not have the skills to go further into the code of the site. This editor can be used to change the main aspects of the site including the background colour, fonts, widgets, menus and other major content options. This editor could be used to change the main elements of the site without going into the code itself, providing an easier option to edit large aspects of the site.

Personas and Scenarios

After the user testing had been collected together the next stage was to develop personas which would demonstrate the target user characteristics, allowing for the development of the site to be directly suited towards the exact type of user which would be accessing it. To develop the personas the characteristics which were demonstrated through those who worked on the user testing the previous day were taken and merged with the answers that were given for the user testing to create the type of user which would access the site. Along with taking characteristics from the users which had been spoken to the day before, social media and interior architect research was also used to access employers who are currently in the industry.

After working on the development of the personas, scenarios were then created for each character to demonstrate how the site would be used and navigated around, allowing for the development of the site to be clearly suited to those who will be using the site. When working on the scenarios from the personas, the situations would be those that target users would find themselves in when looking through the portfolio site.

Overall from collecting the data of the target user and how they would potentially interact with the site has allowed for the site to be styled for the correct user interactions and provided the information of elements which would also need to be included into the site to make the interactions of the user easier. One of these elements includes clear and simple navigation on the site, along with connections to social media and clear sections devoted to the client’s own work.

User Research

When it comes to the industry of Interior Architecture, I personally do not own much knowledge into preferred skills and traits within the industry, so to develop a website which is focused towards this industry, more knowledge was needed. To begin, research into the different types of users was undertaken, allowing for the site to be focused towards the specific type of user, in turn providing the opportunity for the site to reach out to that audience and show all of the requirements which might be wanted by the user.

To begin the user research different agencies and those within the industry were talked to, collecting primary and secondary research into the different types of user and their personality traits. Collecting information from potential users was the first element of collecting user research, so a set of short questions were discussed with architecture students and staff, allowing for a wide variety of those within the industry and the competitors which the client’s portfolio site would be up against in industry. The questions asked were formatted to provide quantitative and qualitative data.

As seen in the results above, the majority of target users thought that a website would need to stand out from the crowd and really demonstrate the user’s work in a positive manor to attract attention. Many also mentioned that the use of colour is really important along with a clean layout. Working within architecture many users thought that a website was different to showcase work, as it would usually been shown at shows being put up on large boards so all can see, which is something that would need to be taken into consideration when developing the website. Along with this most of the users would prefer to see the ‘most recent’ post in comparison to the ‘most proud’ which is another element to take into account before working on the development of the site. Finally there were a range of different social media links which came up in conversation of which would be most preferred, so these links would also need to be included into the site.

Overall from collecting user research it has provided the opportunity to get a better understanding of the industry and what the user would want to see from a portfolio website along with the potential accompanying social media.

 

Competitor Analysis

To understand more about the field in which the design would be developed for competitor analysis was needed to determine elements which are being displayed in current interior architecture portfolio websites. When researching into interior architecture portfolio websites, it showed that at this time there are not a large amount of portfolio sites out there for this subject in comparison to others. Interior architecture companies were found more so than portfolio sites, showing that many different elements could be included into the portfolio to show originality and personality through the site. To understand more about the site’s functionality, each site was tested using Nielson’s Heuristics to pinpoint where each site excels and where they could be improved, allowing an overview of which elements are important to include into the new site in comparison to competitor sites. This was done by layout out the main elements of Nielson’s Heuristics, along with some of my own points which I believe are important, and judging each site out of five on how well they perform compared to each task. Having these charts allowed for a good overview of how each site works and can easily show my I prefer these sites in comparison to other portfolio sites.

The first interior architecture site to be looked at was ‘Lancaster Interiors’ which was a portfolio website created for Amber Lancaster to demonstrate her work in residential and commercial design. The site itself is very simple and is used to purely demonstrate her work through the use of a large image gallery which can be seen on the homepage. The overall design of this site is very simple and is purely used to just display the work of the designer in a basic way. When going through the different elements of Nielson’s Heuristics in comparison to the design, it showed that this site did not have too many elements to keep it engaging for the user. Along with this is proved to be the lowest scoring out of all the sites which had been analysed, demonstrating room for improvement, although what I would like to take from this site would be that the work takes priority within the design, which is an element that would need to be placed into my own work.

lancasterInteriors

The second site is the portfolio of Victoria Spicer, of which is not an interior architect, but when coming across this site, I was very impressed with the animation, user engagement and design layout of the site itself and wanted to use the overall design as inspiration towards the new portfolio site. The site uses a top navigation, which although is not sticky provides animation each time the user scrolls up to it, along with the animated page transitions and image load ins, provides the user with good visual representation of the portfolio of work. Although when looking at the site through Nielson’s Heuristics, it can be seen that it does fall slightly short when it comes to help documentation, recognition, error prevention and system status. This is due to the fact that there are no elements in the site asking for the user to input information to contact the designer, along with this the site also does not have an easy breadcrumb trail leader the user back to the homepage. As much as the page transitions work well, they do not aid the user when trying to return back to different pages of the site.

VictoriaSpicer

The next site to be looked at was the portfolio of Adele Bates who is an interior designer and has an original style of website. The style of website stood out to me because it was different to the standard types of portfolio’s which can be seen form most interior architects, with the navigation placed on the sides of the screen and the centre column being used to display all of the work and information for each page. The page transitions on this site also keep the user engaged, along with the animation of the page as it loads while the user scrolls down. Although the site itself does not contain much colour, the animation and interaction options still provide the user engagement opportunities to ensure the user has an enjoyable experience within the site. When it comes to the Nielson’s Heuristics analysis, it turned out that this site scored the highest in comparison, proving the style and overall functionality of this site should be taken as inspiration for the new portfolio website.

AdeleBates

The portfolio of Emma Kay was the next site to be looked at, with the different format of scrolling across the page, rather than down. Having the different scrolling style made the website stand out, and with the cohesive theme being used across the whole site, really made an impact on the user. The colours which have been used within the site are all displayed within the images which have been chosen to display specific colours, providing a theme of colour as the user scrolls through each page. When compared to the other sites using Nielson’s Heuristics it showed that the site worked really well with the navigation, layout and consistency within the site but did not provide much user feedback including help documentation, error prevention, system status or any other form of system feedback. Overall the layout of the site and how it is used to demonstrate the portfolio work is good, and will be taken forward to the new portfolio design.

EmmaKay

The final portfolio site to be looked at was the portfolio of Sara Zofko who is an interior decorator. The style of site was at first glance very similar to the portfolio of Emma Kay, but the theme which has been used on the homepage does not continue throughout the site, making the overall experience slightly confusing for the user when clicking through the different pages of the site. Although the different style pages make the experience confusing for the user, the layout for the portfolio projects works well to display the variety of work which has been completed and having each individual job being displayed on its own page provides detail for the user. When looking at the different heuristics of the site displayed positives in almost all areas, although the site itself lacked consistency in the design and layouts, along with the lack of colour throughout. The elements which will be taken from this site into the final design includes the easy navigation and how the portfolio work is being displayed.

SaraZofko

Overall from look at competitor sites within the industry there are many different elements which can be taken as inspiration from the sites seen above. All of these elements will be taken into account when the development of the portfolio website begins.

Mood Boards

In order to demonstrate to the client the different styles and themes which were going to be used in the design of the portfolio a range of different mood boards were developed using different software. The first mood board was developed to show the initial thoughts for the website including the style and colour pallet which demonstrated a geometric, flat design, one page style of website. Images and graphics were very present in the design along with the use of bold colours and utilising the images which were present within the design. When showing the client this mood board, all of the designs and colour were very much enjoyed and the client was very happy with the style and look of all the different designs.

Photoshop Mood Board

After a few days of working on the designs for this website based on the images which have been seen in the mood board, the client came back and requested for the design to include some simpler elements than those which can bee seen within the mood board. This was due to their concern that the images which will be placed within the site might get lost in the bold colours which could be seen on the first mood board. To overcome this issue, another mood board was developed using a site called Pinterest, to demonstrate different designs which have a slightly smaller amount of bold colour and design, but still work to produce the same effect as the previous mood board.

Pinterest Mood board

From looking at the second mood board with the slightly subdued designs the client was much happier with the designs which can be seen on this mood board in comparison, although did still want to see some involvement of the designs which can be seen in the first mood board.

Client Requirements

With the creation of this site being focused towards the client’s wants and needs there were specific requirements which the client had asked for to improve the site’s demonstration of their work along with complying to the client’s needs and wants throughout this assignment. After the first meeting with the client the main feature which was wanted within the site was originality, to ensure that the site does not look like any other within the industry, demonstrating how the client would like to be displayed to future employers.  As the client themselves is currently a student, the site needs to include the most recent work, along with showing any relevant work experience or other qualifications. When it comes to the work which is going to be shown, each individual piece ‘speaks for itself’ as stated by the client, so would need to be shown in a manor to honour this. To display the work to the client it has been decided that meetings will be held every week to work through the different stages of the design, ensuring that each stage adheres to the client’s wants and provides time to make changes to the design if needed.

Research Into The Current Field Of Requirements

The audience for this site will predominantly be future employers within the interior architecture industry and possibly friends and family who are interested in the student’s current work. To understand more about the target audience for this site I wanted to research into the different characteristics in which they would demonstrate, to allow for site to be easily used and enjoyed by the target user. To begin this research I started off by looking at current job advertisements for this industry to understand what companies are looking for from their employees. From looking at a range of different job descriptions it became apparent that companies are looking for designers who have new and original ideas who can clearly

demonstrate the skills which they have obtained in and outside of education. These skills will need to be clearly shown on the site to give the best impression to target employers. Attention to detail was another key point in which the job advertisements were looking for along with presentation skills which would be need to be applied to the portfolio website.

Figure 1 Demonstrating current job advertisements within this field 

As seen in the job advertisements above (figure 1), there are many different elements which would need to be included into the site to demonstrate to the potential employer that the  client is well suited to the job roles which are available.
