May 2023 – September 2023
Overview
During my time as a UX Intern at Fusionary, I was tasked with creating the wireframes for a new version of Counter Solutions by Lumbermen’s. Fusionary hired a freelancer to do the visual design work, but plans changed. A month into the project, our freelance designer and front-end developer unexpectedly left the project. We had to create a plan B fast! It was decided that I would then be tasked with doing the visual design for the website. During the project my coworker created a home page for design direction for the freelancer, so my job was to follow the theme and direction of the home page to create the rest of the pages.
Wireframes
Luckily, I had finished all of the wireframing that was needed for Counter Solutions before our freelancer had to leave the project. Most of the content on the pages came from the existing website, but content that I did not have was filled in with lorem ipsum text. Here’s what the wireframes looked like.
Visual Design
What’s next?
While our freelance visual designer and developer left the project, my team and I needed to figure out what to do next. Were we going to need to hire a contractor for design and development? Would this push the release date? We decided that I should take on the rest of the visual design on the new Counter Solutions website. Using the home page my coworker had created for direction for the freelancer, I was able to design and get the client’s approval of the rest of the pages on the website.
