Abstract/Summary
There are challenges in functionality, navigation and aesthetics with the current Cal Poly University Housing portal. There exists a need for a redesign of the portal to be more intuitive and user friendly for students. By conducting research with students and University Housing staff to gain a full understanding of the current issues present, an improved interface that reflects the needs of Cal Poly students can be produced. The goal of this self-guided senior project is to provide a streamlined experience that allows students to easily complete their main task with minimal effort. This paper outlines the redesign process of the Cal Poly University Housing portal over a 10-week period. The final deliverable of this project is a new website prototype that addresses crucial aspects of usability such as navigation, content organization, and feedback to give students more control over their housing needs and eliminate the current overwhelming nature of the process.
