OfferUp Redesign: We worked on redesigning the OfferUp website to ensure that it complied with modern-day information architecture standards. To accomplish this, we conducted a research study to gather user feedback, built sitemaps and wireframes and developed a prototype. The site’s navigation was redesigned, then a user-centered card sorting test was performed to validate our changes and identify more issues we could have missed. We created a high-level and a low-level sitemap to display the redesigned website’s hierarchy and created a wireframe of the redesign. Finally, we created a prototype of our redesigned OfferUp website.

Our tests enabled us to properly redesign the site to address issues and produce a final website prototype that showcases its benefits to support user information tasks.
