Project: DataLemon Website from scratch

Year: 2022
Background: DataLemon is a forward-thinking startup dedicated to making data analytics more accessible and user-friendly for businesses. The company sought to launch a website that effectively communicates its innovative approach and connects with its target audience.
Challenge: The main challenge was to design a website that not only highlights DataLemon’s unique value proposition but also simplifies complex data analytics concepts. The goal was to create an intuitive and approachable website that resonates with users and clearly conveys the company’s offerings.
Technical Constraints:
- Template: Required to use a pre-selected and purchased template, limiting custom design flexibility.
- Time: Limited to 2 weeks for UX/UI design, iterations, and illustrations.

- Developed Information Architecture Plan: Presented two distinct hierarchical structure options to the founders for review and discussion. This plan outlined the organization of information and content, ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs before proceeding with wireframe development.
- Low-Fidelity Wireframes:
- Developed low-fidelity wireframes to plan the site’s layout.
- Collaborated with the copywriter to refine content and with the founders to finalize screen designs approval as they better understood their clients and leads.
User Interface Design:
