Forum for young people on digital-related matters

When developing the forum, we encountered significant challenges related to UI and UX design. The site was large, with a high volume of users and diverse content. Ensuring usability, intuitive navigation, and an engaging design while maintaining the performance and scalability of the platform was critical.

To overcome these challenges, we focused on several key areas: User-Centered Design: Conducted user research to understand the needs and preferences of the target audience. Developed user personas to guide design decisions, ensuring the site met the expectations of young users. Custom Design with phpBB: Used phpBB for its scalability and robust forum features, applying a custom design to match the vibrant, modern aesthetic preferred by young users. Enhanced Usability: Created an intuitive navigation structure with clear categorization and prominent search functionality. Integrated interactive elements like user badges and gamification features to increase engagement. Responsive and Optimized Design: Ensured a fully responsive design for seamless use across all devices. Optimized site performance with caching mechanisms and image optimization. Continuous Improvement: Established feedback mechanisms to gather user input and continuously improve the UI/UX. Conducted usability testing to identify and address pain points.
