The Problem
The Problem
Party guests and planners frequently encounter significant challenges related to location and event coordination. Guests often struggle to find the venue of important vendors or even locate their assigned seats. On the other hand, planners find themselves inundated with numerous calls for directions from both guests and vendors, causing unnecessary stress and disruptions

In order to understand the challenges and needs of the target users, I conducted interviews and created empathy maps. These interviews helped me gain insights into the experiences and perspectives of the product's target demographic. After carefully screening the participants, I conducted user research through video calls on the Telegram platform.
Upon analyzing the findings from the research interviews and comparing them to the assumptions regarding navigating wedding venues, it became evident that 80% of the interviewees had encountered difficulties in navigating wedding venues at least once. For this project, I interviewed a total of six participants, with three representing party guests and the remaining three representing party coordinators/planners.

Pain Points
During the user research, several pain points were identified based on the feedback from participants. Here are the key pain points identified:
Setting reminders: Participants expressed the need to set reminders for events they have RSVP'd to. They often struggle with remembering the exact date and time of the event and would like a feature that allows them to set reminders within the same platform. This would help them stay organised and ensure they don't miss important events.
Virtual tour of the event: Participants mentioned that they would appreciate a platform that offers a virtual tour of the event location. This would help them familiarize themselves with the venue layout and choose their seats in advance. Having a visual representation of the venue would enhance their overall experience and make them feel more prepared.
Explore location: Participants expressed a desire for a platform that provides information about nearby hotels, pubs, and other amenities around the event location. They mentioned that sometimes they would like to extend their stay or have a drink before heading home, and having recommendations for nearby establishments would be valuable to them.

In the first stage of my design execution, I created rough sketches of the important screens of the proposed app on paper. These sketches allowed me visualize the layout and structure of the screens before translating them into digital wireframes. I ensured that the elements included in the digital wireframes were carefully selected to address user pain points effectively.
For example, on the home screen, I prioritised key features such as the RSVP and Tour options. This decision was made based on the identified pain points of users, aiming to provide them with a faster and more efficient way to navigate through the app and save time. By prominently displaying these options on the home screen, users can easily access the RSVP feature to confirm their attendance and the Tour feature to explore the event venue virtually.

Usability Study
Usability Study
I conducted two rounds of usability studies. For these studies, i used this usability study plan. From this plan i went on to create an identification template to help classify these findings into descriptive themes. The Findings from the first study helped guide the designs from wireframes to mockups.
To showcase the changes made after the first study, a presentation deck was created, highlighting the design updates and explaining the rationale behind each modification. This deck provided a visual overview of the changes implemented from the low-fidelity prototype based on the findings of the initial usability study.
Summary of Findings:
The tour function that exists is not descriptive enough
Most users could not login the normal way
No prompt to tell if they reserved their spot successfully
Users are not sure if they are logged out or not.
Users want to be able to tell they have added an event to their calendar successfully
By incorporating user feedback from both rounds of usability testing, I was able to refine the designs, address usability issues, and enhance the overall user experience of the Blissbond app. The iterative nature of the design process ensured that user needs and pain points were effectively addressed, resulting in a more user-friendly and intuitive product.
