In an ambitious endeavor to revitalize the user experience (UX) and technological landscape, I am spearheading a comprehensive upgrade for a 120-year-old company. The existing UX, marred by years of outdated design and tech stack has hindered seamless integration of new business ideas and has blocked company growth.
Recognizing the imperative for a modern and user-friendly interface in a today's world and the need to preserve traditional values of the produce industry, I am embarking on a transformative journey to not only enhance the visual appeal but also streamline the overall user journey. This strategic initiative aims to breathe new life into the company's digital presence, ensuring a more intuitive, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing experience for both existing and prospective users.
As Head of UX, I undertook a multifaceted approach to enhance the overall user experience and modernize the technological landscape. Key responsibilities included conducting a thorough assessment of the existing UX and the tech stack, identifying pain points of the customers, balancing between the need to change vs keeping it famillar, and formulating a strategic roadmap for improvement.
Due to a lot of technological constraint, upgrading a 20 year old tech stack was challenging. Embarking on a completely new tech stack from scratch was the only option use mordern React or Vue UI frameworks. Although very tempting, I decided to continue with the existing tech stack due to resource constraint and time to market. This was challenging from the development point of view but the I was glad that the compromise was not sub-par.
Check out the prototype I made using the vanila js and css with help of tailwind, bootstrap & postcss.
