Creating and Design
From wire framing to actionable design, creating next steps

Our aim was twofold:
to make menu items easily accessible and visually appealing while ensuring they weren't intimidating. We experimented with various designs and settled on one that presented comprehensive information in the simplest and most user-friendly manner.

The Development
Using design sprints and discussing the functionality between the ideas we came up with the basic layout below.

What is the Change:
THE MOCKUP
We provided food description and nutritional details. The prior progress page displayed a static icon indicating the time of completion. I revamped it to allow users to set food completion and delivery times, along with an added feature for chat notes if necessary.
- Implementation: Created wireframes and high-fidelity designs in Figma, using a clean typography style (Roboto) from the design system (inspired by Google’s Material Design, as per customer request). Added dropdown menus and search functionality to enhance accessibility.
- Visual Enhancements: Used Adobe Photoshop to design vibrant menu icons and banners, improving visual appeal for James’s exploration needs.
- Rationale: The usability study showed 60% of participants struggled with inconsistent labels, validated by a 35% bounce rate in Google Analytics. Journey mapping highlighted Sarah’s frustration with navigation delays and James’s need for clear categorization.
- Persona Alignment: Addressed Sarah’s goal of quick ordering by reducing navigation steps and James’s need for intuitive exploration by adding filters.
- Impact: Post-iteration testing reduced menu navigation time by 40% (from 2 minutes to 1.2 minutes), and Google Analytics showed a 15% decrease in bounce rates. SurveyMonkey feedback rated menu usability 4.2/5, up from 3/5.

The full navigational layout of the website is listed above.

The atmosphere is great. Comfortable but upscale.

I tried Alondra’s Cuisine for the first time last month, and I was blown away by how easy it was to explore their menu.

I’ve been ordering from Alondra’s Cuisine for years, and the recent update to their website is fantastic. The menu is so much clearer now
