Research and Analysis

Lack of visual accents
Overloaded structure
Complex information search
Navigation difficulties

problems

To implement new sections and identify improvements, I conducted field testing with people of different ages and levels of computer proficiency.
This helped uncover several issues:
It keeps the page uncluttered while standing out with an accent color and an illustration.
For the integration with Nochlezhka’s chat bot, I used a compact banner.

integration with the Telegram bot

I structured them as accordions to maintain a clean design and simplify information retrieval. Images were removed to avoid overloading the page.
The page needed to accommodate extensive sections: "Our Achievements", "Our Activities" and "Related Materials".

Navigation and Visualization

Research shows that visual elements help users process information faster.
That's why I made them the foundation of navigation and used expandable cards to prevent text overload.
I focused on improving navigation and information perception by emphasizing visual elements.

Solutions

Responsive design. This was the most challenging part of the work, as I had to independently identify the breakpoints and grid, and then implement the updated design while maintaining the page logic and simplifying navigation.
Illustrations. Help users navigate more easily and quickly grasp the meaning of each section.
The redesign successfully organized large volumes of information while maintaining clear navigation.

Page before and after
