Max Explore Interface Updates
The Max Explore page showcases all of the applications and products currently available on the Max platform. Visitors can request more information using buttons and links within the application tiles on the explore page.
My Role
I was the sole UX designer on the project, and was responsible for gathering requirements, prototyping, collecting stakeholder feedback, design of the final screens, and developer handoff.
The Challenge
Update the current Explore page interface to include a new design treatment for the application tiles, and application filtering for users, allowing them to filter by capability, phases, access points, equipment type, and providers.
Duration
Three weeks
Research
Due to the short turnaround time I was not able to conduct any user research besides interviewing stakeholders about their experience and observations working with the Explore page, and gathering any feedback they had received from users. I generated a list of user needs and requirements. I reviewed with stakeholders, and once approved movers onto building mockups.
User needs and requirements:
Quick, clear, and easy method of filtering applications
Build the filtering method into the user interface (not a dropdown or method with multiple steps. Integrate into navigation pattern)
Group the applications by customer needs and capabilities
Allow selection of multiple filters
Include an application search field
Updated design of the application tiles to help differentiate between the diverse product categories
New interface layout to create more visual interest and user engagement
Final Design
After several reviews with stakeholders, this is the final design that was selected. It was similar to the original design, with the main difference being the addition of the side navigation bar for easy filter selection. I built a prototype and shared it with the developer team, and the design was implemented shortly after.
