Creating a charity app: week 3 update

I’ve been learning UX Design since 2019. I’ve worked on multiple projects, and one of the most exciting parts of the process is the ending when you’re almost done designing and are testing on actual users. That’s what I’m doing as of now.

If you’re new here, I’m working on a Charity app. The idea is to have an application where people can explore cause-based charities, and donate to them. Find all the details about the project here.

This past week, I worked on every minute detail and finished the designing aspect of the application. I finished with the colors, did final touches to the layout and placing of buttons, and played with animation as well as, animation in navigating the different pages in the application.

Now I’m at the start of the testing phase.

Through user testing, I plan to-

• Learn if people are able to find what they’re looking for easily
• Identify how long it takes to explore and donate to charities, from start to finish
• Find how satisfied people are with the application
• Identify changes required or improvements suggested

What’s in for the next week?

Once I’m done with the testing phase, I’ll start with the publishing part. I’ll do that using Bravo Studio.

Bravo Studio uses “Bravo tags” to connect the design to the back-end. Basically, I’ll name all components of my design in Figma. I’ll name them with relevant “tags” that Bravo has provided. This will help Bravo identify the right components and then I’ll connect all the relevant elements with their back-end using Bravo and Airtable.

I’ve never used Bravo Studio before. I’ve been learning about the tool and plan on continuing to learn more and publishing the app all before the end of this month!
