Blogging about UX Design

It's about the Journey...and the Destination

Understanding a how a website user can navigate your site is of the upmost importance, and one of the best ways to do that is to study how other sites handle their interfaces. In this case study, I examined how Community Transite of Snohomish and King County present their upcoming transit lines.

The Method:

Starting from a bootstrap template, I created a blog to present what I was learning about User Science and Design all in one place.


Since the template handled most of the "heavy lifting" I was able to focus more on how my site was looking to the Internet User rather than worring about how to get things onto the page.


Once I had a loose pattern in place, new posts were easily enough to stucture by copying and restructuring a template that I had made for myself.


Unexpected Challenges:

At the onset of this project, I expected the content work to be much easier since it didn't involve much coding. I couldn't have been more wrong. After a short stint in blogging, I have so much respect for the content producers with years of content on their blogs. It takes a lot to execute ideas and make them look good. It was very exciting to see something that I had made appear online for anyone to see.
