In ExpoPlatform, one of the key problems I solved was the lack of an adaptive and user-friendly design across different devices. The platform was primarily designed for desktop users, making it difficult for attendees, exhibitors, and event organizers to navigate and interact efficiently on mobile devices.
The evolution from a desktop-only approach to a desktop-first strategy, culminating in a hybrid adaptive and responsive design.
Kick-off meeting
I have started my work from a deep discussion with a company CEo and product leader Tanya Pinchuk, which helped me understand the business goal. From the discussion, I have found out that client does not had strong justification in adding new version of a design, so the final goal was not very clear to me, so I decided to perform my own research over the field.
Is a mobile version truly necessary?
Justification and user research
First of all I decided to take a look into the site usage data, and with a help of DS perform a device dependent analysis of the site usage. Amount of site opening per user will be not representative, since it will not show us how long users stay within the platform, so we pulled a breakdown by Time Spend on the platform page by Device Type.
