VR Software creates XR software solutions for clients of all kinds. Their original website was becoming quite dated so they asked me to give it a more modern look.

The Challenge

Creating a website that would provide relevant information about VR Software for all current and prospective clients. VR-Software is the parent company of Edumersive and for this reason it was important to keep cohesion between both websites.

Being on a tight deadline, I decided to analyse what their competitor's websites look like, learned what they wanted to show to clients, and also what they might want to do in the future with the website.

After my brief competitor analysis and sketching, I quickly moved to making digital low-fidelty prototypes. The reason for digital low-fidelties was for easier transferability during online discussion of designs.

These prototypes were used to get a general feel of what would fit the company most and would provide the user with the most information without overloading them. Internally we determined what would provide the most use.

After having chosen the third low-fid, I worked on refining it into a high-fidelity version. I focussed on highlighting important convincing elements like previous clients and thier offered services.

For the high-fid I made all pages available on desktop for the VR-Software website. I also started working on the Edumersive as that one had to now also be slightly updated to stay in tone with the VR-Software one.

I made all of the desktop screens for the VR-Software site and was close to done with all the screens for the Edumersive website.

On my final day on this project and at this company I worked on making the entire project file (and all other project files) as transferable as possible.
For this project that meant, sorting and formulating all layers and files properly for easy searching. I also made a simple color scheme for them to use on all their websites. I made a document (not available here) for them talking about how to use their colors on the websites.

Reflection
The website looks way better than it did before but I do think I missed out on some parts. I was strained for time because I was suddenly pulled to all kinds of different projects that they had running and wanted my last time feedback on it before I was gone. Sadly this also meant I could not talk to the web designer who eventually put the website live and took some liberties in what to follow from my designs.
