Design Description
The design used for the design of this web and mobile application is simplistic in nature. This would make it possible for users to access its features and content with ease. Since the application has been developed to target tourists who visit the city of Charlotte, the home page should portray that message by incorporating the city’s crest and its name in the navigation menu.
The website would have a consistent design by having each page have the same header that has the main tourist attractions listed on every page. To access the different attraction sites such as museums, parks, hotels etc. users would simply click on the links that are available in each page header. When the user does not want to click on those links and wants to access a specific feature, the search bar in the first page would make it possible for the user to access that feature without having to navigate to where it is located through the headers.
The footer section gives access to resources that are not essential but important to the user such as access to government resources and quick facts about the city in the ‘about’ section. The mobile application has key tourist attractions listed but it gets rid of most of the non-essential features present in the website to increase its usability. The design tool used for this assignment is Balsamiq Mockups and the mockup file is attached with this assignment for reference purposes.
