Project Details
Main Goal
The project's objective was to overhaul and modernize the entire IVS platform. The previous website was outdated and lacked organization, with a dense and cluttered search functionality.
Challenges
The IVS platform involves a vast ETL process, managing numerous databases covering the entire national territory. Creating a well-structured survey to accommodate all this data was undoubtedly the most significant challenge we faced!
Deliverables
The deliverables were centered around providing the complete revamped platform, a style guide, and a site map.
Methodology
Process
The project followed a streamlined and rapid approach due to the limited timeframe for implementation.
I initiated the process by conducting a series of intensive interviews with IPEA researchers who were frequent users of the platform, as well as researchers from partner institutions. Following this, I developed the site map and utilized data clustering techniques to organize the collected information. Subsequently, I began creating screens for user testing and A/B testing based on these insights.
