Platform Discovery, UX/UI Design, Documentation

ABOUT

Actor Haven is envisioned as a dynamic platform to connect actors, foster industry discussions, and share resources. The client, an entrepreneur passionate about creating a focused space for the acting community, sought our expertise to guide them through the discovery and design phases.


Context:

The acting community lacked a dedicated, interactive platform to meet their unique needs. Existing platforms were too broad, failing to offer the focused community environment actors desired. Actor Haven aimed to create a platform that would become the go-to resource for actors, offering networking, content sharing, and industry news.

Process:

  1. Discovery Phase:Stakeholder Collaboration: Conducted detailed interviews, workshops, and brainstorming sessions to define the platform’s core requirements.
    Documentation: Mapped out functional and non-functional requirements, user stories, and user flow diagrams.

  2. Design Phase:Wireframes & Visual Tools: Developed wireframes and a mood board to capture the platform’s aesthetic tone, ensuring alignment with Actor Haven’s brand identity.
    Marketing-Oriented Landing Page: Designed a landing page to boost visibility and attract early interest.

  3. Collaboration and Refinement:Close collaboration with the client allowed for iterative refinement of the designs, ensuring alignment with the client’s vision.


Technical Stack:

  • Frontend: Proposed React.js for responsive and dynamic user interfaces.

  • Backend: Recommended Node.js for efficient backend operations.

  • Database Design: Suggested MongoDB for scalable architecture to handle user-generated content.

Key Features & Innovations:

  1. Interactive Networking: Actor profiles, messaging, and discussion forums to foster engagement.

  2. Content Sharing: Easy sharing of articles, videos, and news relevant to actors.

  3. Industry News Integration: A dedicated section to keep users informed about the latest developments in the acting industry.


Challenges & Solutions:

Balancing stakeholder needs while prioritizing user experience was a significant challenge. Feedback loops were implemented to ensure features aligned with both user and stakeholder expectations. The design blended modern elements with familiar navigation for ease of use.


Results & Impact:

  • Stakeholder Alignment: 100% approval of design concepts, ensuring a unified vision.

  • User-Centric Design: Preliminary user testing showed 90% satisfaction with wireframes.

  • Scalability: The technical documentation provided a foundation for long-term growth.
