| Why do this project ?

Most of the school website is filled with too much, too messy information, but for the bast majority of freshmen and their parents, they wanted to know more about the professional information, as well as its geographical location and surrounding. The information on the website can only provide them with reference.

In addition, from the perspective of user experience, disordered webpage information greatly increased the burden of the user, and most users preferred to browsing the webpage with mobile phones at any time now.

So, took this as a starting point, we decided to design a mobile phone which can provide academic and daily living assistance to freshmen or the current students.

| Target user
•  New students
•  Current students
•  People who want to know more information about this school

The app went through several stages of wireframe and prototype. During this process, screens were added and eliminated based on the focal user profile and user experience.

| High- fragility screens

The end project has two modes one is for the student and one is for a group of people who answer questions and connect with a potential student. Two modes are slightly different only on the personal page and the Q&S section.
