About project
OVERVIEW
My tasks
While the app’s functionality is solid, the first iteration of its design falls short in delivering an intuitive and visually appealing user experience. The current interface lacks the polished aesthetics and smooth interactions that users expect from a modern application. A visual overhaul is essential to enhance user engagement, improve usability, and reflect the innovative spirit of Togather. A refreshed design will not only elevate the app's appeal but also strengthen its core value of connecting people effortlessly.
Identification of issues in the journey
HYPOTHESIS
Upon thoroughly reviewing all the application's user journeys, several key areas for improvement have become evident.
The organization of the main menu lacks clarity and coherence. The homepage does not provide any real added value to the user experience, when there is already a calendar page summarizing informations.

The "activity creation form" (centerpiece of the application) has several notable problems. Users often struggle to understand where they are in the process, which can lead to frustration and an increased likelihood of abandoning the task.

On a broader level, the application's overall design feels outdated. This impacts the perception of modernity and innovation that the app should convey. A visual overhaul, aligned with current UX/UI standards, would greatly enhance the app's appeal.

USER INTERFACE
For this redesign, I aimed to preserve the signature "purple" color from the application's original version while making the overall design lighter and easier to understand. Building on the previously identified hypotheses, several adjustments were also made to the user journeys, ensuring a more seamless and intuitive experience.
Key enhancements
USER JOURNEY IMPROVEMENT
The application's previous menu suffered from a lack of coherence in the organization of its entries, which negatively impacted the user experience.
The "homepage," for instance, lacked a clearly defined purpose, creating redundancy with the "calendar" page, which was already the central hub for event-related features.
This duplication disrupted navigation by scattering information and forcing users to switch unnecessarily between sections with similar content.
The decision was made to remove the homepage and rearrange the other entries. Refocusing priorities will streamline the user journey and made accessing features more intuitive.
The previous event creation journey was complex and included too many steps, leading to a frustrating user experience.
The main issue was the lack of clear progress indicators—users didn’t know how many steps were left to complete.
To address this, a visual progress bar was introduced. It shows the remaining steps and allows users to easily return to a previous step through its scrollable functionality, making the process much smoother and more transparent.
The UI redesign of the application takes a more modern and sophisticated approach, featuring a darker palette that provides a sense of elegance and visual comfort, especially during extended use. Subtle touches of color, particularly purple accents that recall the previous design, have been thoughtfully incorporated to maintain the app's identity while adding vibrancy to the interface.
This new graphic charter, more aligned with current trends, is also more functional: contrasts are optimized for better readability, and the overall experience is visually soothing and less straining on the eyes.
