While this project did not achieve its intended success as a startup, it served as a valuable learning experience that allowed me to acquire essential skills and knowledge in web development. Throughout the process, I independently delved into HTML, CSS, PHP, and WordPress development, honing my abilities to create functional and visually appealing websites.
As the sole designer and developer, I assumed responsibility for conceptualizing the website's user experience and translating it into a user interface design. My role included:
Conducting extensive research to understand the unique needs and pain points of airline crew members regarding travel tips and information sharing.
Creating wireframes and prototypes to outline the website's structure, information hierarchy, and interaction flows.
Designing a visually cohesive and intuitive user interface that catered to the target audience's preferences and requirements.
Implementing the website using a combination of HTML, CSS, PHP, and WordPress, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility across various devices and browsers.
