Project Overview Title: ECE Department Website – Anna University Regional Campus, Madurai Duration: 2 Months Role: Lead Designer & Team Head Tools Used: Figma, Miro, Notion

Design Process Week 1 – Research Conducted stakeholder interviews with faculty members and students to identify existing usability challenges. Performed competitive analysis of other university department websites to understand layout and content standards. Gathered requirements around event updates, syllabus access, and placement information.

Week 2 – Empathize Created user personas for three main groups: students, faculty, and external visitors. Mapped user journeys to visualize how each user navigates the website to find relevant information. Identified key user needs: clarity, easy navigation, and up-to-date information.

Week 3 – Define & Ideate Defined problem statements: “How might we create an engaging, easy-to-navigate departmental website that reflects the department’s achievements and supports both students and staff?” Brainstormed layout ideas, content hierarchy, and interactive sections such as “Achievements,” “Events,” and “Faculty Profiles.”

Week 4 – Low-Fidelity Wireframes Designed initial layout sketches focusing on structure and information flow. Developed low-fidelity wireframes in Figma to visualize page organization before moving to visual design.

Week 5 – High-Fidelity Design Translated wireframes into high-fidelity mockups using a modern, minimal UI style aligned with Anna University’s color scheme. Ensured responsive design for mobile and desktop screens.

Week 6 – Usability Testing Conducted usability tests with sample users to gather feedback on navigation, readability, and accessibility. Implemented revisions to simplify menus and highlight important links.

Week 7–8 – Finalization & Handoff Finalized design components, icons, and typography. Created design documentation and handed over assets for website development. Presented final prototype to faculty for approval and integration. Outcome Delivered a modern, user-friendly website reflecting the department’s identity. Improved navigation and content accessibility for students and staff. Strengthened departmental communication through organized content structure and event visibility.
