Goals
Improve the overall site navigation and provide users with activities they could do with their children.
Anna Reeves, teacher and mother of two young kids, needs help looking for interactive activities for her and her children to do together so that they can learn how to make healthy choices as a family.

Empathize / Research
In our research process, we started with a heuristic evaluation and user interviews to guide our concept. We wanted to see where people seek nutrition information and discover how they teach their children about healthy eating habits.
We ran remote card sorting to understand more about how users will interact with the original website.

In our initial review, we thought the problem might be their navigation and how they presented content
However, from our interviews we discovered each person found it important to involve their kids in their family food routines - but needed ideas on how to do that.
Define
We created a user persona based on the research findings to better understand the needs and motivations of users.
To visually represent the website's user flow. We developed the user journey map.
Ideate
We concluded that our website should have a thriving activities page with a lot of information for parents wishing to involve their children in healthy eating habits based on our affinity map and prioritizing matrix. The user flow was then created based on the thoughts.
Design / Prototype
To get the bets result, we each created two versions of each screen based on the user flow.
Then we voted on which parts would be used in the Mid-Fi wireframe.

Through our iteration process we improved our UI elements by finalizing a color palette, adding less rounded corners for a more modern look, and updating the filter sections. We also updated our UX throughout the iterations by focusing the homepage more and more on activities to solve our users' problem.

Summary
Keep your user at the forefront, and make sure your iterations will actually serve their needs, not just the design
Testing after each iteration to refine design elements and usability, and check the prototype after each iteration
We got really stuck on the color palate and making it both nice to look at and Accessibility compliant - A/B testing was crucial to figure that out
We've discussed what we might be able to do in the future to increase user engagement on the site.
