A UI (User Interface) project involves designing the appearance and usability of software or a website to enhance user-friendliness and visual appeal. This includes creating interactive visual elements like menus, buttons, forms, and other graphical components, as well as structuring the layout and navigation flow to ensure a seamless user experience.
Enhancing Airborne UX:
UI Innovation in Focus
Company Name
Airborne Airlines Inc.
Background
As a UX researcher collaborating with AirBorne Airlines, Reeya aims to expand on the UX research conducted and complete the UI design of their website.
The research has focused on identifying the market need for an airline that emphasises ultra-comfortable, economical flights. Reeya has undertaken various tasks, including desk research, user interviews, ideation, concept design, user testing, and low-fidelity wireframing to validate the attached wireframes. With the concept now validated, the website is ready for its next iteration. Drawing from the insights gained during the initial UX research, Reeya is prepared to deliver a compelling UI that enhances the overall user experience of the website.
