This study has been conducted in collaboration with the company Profixio. The study has focused on examining their existing application in terms of navigation and search capabilities and based on identified needs and challenges of the target audience, being able to support a redesign of the interface. The work has undergone a process where individuals from the target audience has been involved in various stages. Initially, a usability testing was conducted in a group setting where these individuals individually performed usability tests with the existing application followed by a collective discussion. Subsequently, the work progressed into a conceptual phase where sketches and lo-fi prototypes were developed and tested again with individuals from the target audience. In a final stage, a hi-fi prototype was usability tested. Two SUS surveys have also been conducted during the study, this was done to measure change in usability between the existing application and the hi-fi prototype. One conclusion of the study is that if the target audience is actively involved during the design process, their needs and challenges are discovered and shows what parts of the layout do not meet these needs. The problem that the current layout has today depends on different factors which together creates a ambiguity in the layout. Based on this problem, a concept is formed in the study based on principles and theories within interaction design, semiotics, graphic design and human centered design, the concept then evolves into a prototype that represents a design which creates value for the end users.
