UX DESIGN
Aztec Del Sol
We are creating an application to attract new customers while retaining the current clientele of a local Mexican restaurant.
Projects Goal
Create a responsive webpage for mobile and desktop for the Aztec Del Sol restaurant.
My Role
UX designer leading the application and responsive website design from conception to delivery.
Research
I conducted interviews and created empathy maps to understand the users I’m designing for and their needs. A primary user group identified through research was working adults who didn’t have the amount of time to cook however needed healthy meals for themselves and their families.
The research included conducting a remote unmoderated usability study that asked the users to conduct certain actions within the prototype.
Two user personas were created to help define the needs of the application while a competitive audit was used to see the opportunities and gaps of any other competitors.
Wire frames
Digital wire frames were created to help design the webpage for the mobile and desktop. Each was created and used with the screen size in mind.

User Testing
With the wire frames created the next step was to setup a usability study to determine if users could complete everything in the application and what opportunities existed in the mock up.
Findings from User Testing
#1
Wanted to have the ability to schedule an order for later
#2
Wanted the Instagram photos to expand and not stay small.
#3
Users wanted a add or subtract button in the ordering process.
Refining the Design
The final high-fidelity prototype presented a refined user flow for ordering food, filtering items, and scheduling order times.

Conclusion
After all of the user research, usability studies, and competitive study I landed on a final polished product that could give a user the restaurant information like the menu and contact information. The final product also allowed the user to order from the restaurant.
