Client: Idaho Department of Fish and Game
A state agency with their eye on the future.
The Proposal
Idaho Department of Fish and Games website attracts over 2 million users a year. The website has a mandate to provide up to date regulations and rules as it relates to hunting, fishing, conservation, and management of public resources.
The greatest challenge facing the agency is delivery and presentation in a meaningful and useful way, mobile devices and tablets have only made the challenge much more complex. An aging and complex architecture has also added to the challenge.
The Outcome
Currently the agency is using Drupal as a CMS to manage content and is implimenting a headless Drupal system to provide endpoints to re-imagine how it delivers content using modern Javascript frameworks for front end UI design and development. Creating micro sites to address lack of responsive features to heavily trafficked content on the site is one strategy being developed and implimented.
User experience and usability tests and research are being conducted on how to best serve the needs of the users and present content and biological data in a new and meaningful way. Concepts and prototypes are being built as well as new API's in order to take advantage of new techniques in UI design that create a better mobile/responsive experience and present content in a more intuitive way.
My Role:
Lead UX UI designer creating concepts, designing new user flows, creating user personas, API design and development. Content audits, usability testing, mockup, prototyping.
