Week 7: Finalizing & Refining

-

I can't believe there are only two weeks left of my internship! It's crazy how quickly time has flown by. After photographing Xondas technology and lab, we began finalizing the company's website, adding images that best represent the brand and the company. This week has been focused on assembling everything, continuously reviewing the content, images, colors, format, and more.

We had a meeting with the team for feedback, and we've been reiterating our designs to ensure they not only satisfy Xondas but also provide the best user experience. We are at the stage where we are constantly refining the website to make sure it is the best it can be.

Some of the key things I've learned so far this week is:

  1. The Importance of Visuals: Having high-quality images play an important role in representing the brand and creating a professional look for the website.
  2. Always look to Improve: Iteration is key. Regularly reviewing and refining our design ensures that the final product meets the highest standards.
  3. Having the User in Mind: Always keeping the user in mind and striving to create a seamless and enjoyable experience is important for a successful website.
  4. Feedback: Team feedback is extremely important. It helps catch issues that one might miss and brings in diverse perspectives to improve the overall design.
As we move into the final weeks of the internship, I'm excited to see the finished product of the company's website. The journey of bringing our vision to life has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm eager to see how it will impact Xondas and our users.

This is my fifth week interning with Xondas, and it's been an exciting journey! This week, I began building the company's website on Squarespace. My partner and I are focusing on the layout, ensuring it meets the Xondas team's expectations before diving into colors and typography. During our Thursday meeting, the team was thrilled with the layout and eager to see the next steps unfold. Our next challenge is selecting the right color palette and typography. We aim for a consistent and accessible design that aligns with Xondas' branding. Initially, I felt overwhelmed by the color choices, but I addressed this by prioritizing the layout and creating a style guide based on the company's brand colors.

Week 3: Progress and Plans

This is my third week at the Digital Summer Clinic, and it has been an incredible learning experience so far! Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with my assigned company, Xondas. During our meeting, I gathered essential information about their website goals, objectives, and overall vision. Understanding these aspects is crucial to ensuring the website aligns perfectly with their needs and expectations. Following this important discussion, I took the initiative to create a site map. This map outlines the website's structure, providing a clear blueprint of how information will be organized and presented. Also, I developed a detailed buyer persona based on a past Xondas client. This persona helps us understand our target audience's needs, preferences, and behaviors, which is crucial for designing a user-centric website. To further strengthen our project, my partner and I conducted an in-depth competitive analysis. We examined similar companies to identify best practices and ...
