Website Redesign - Reportera

Hello guys, for this redesign I didn't have to do much. However, I did take some errors I have in the live website and try to make them better using fundamental elements of design.

This is the live website.

Problems

  1. Too many font families were used, showing a lack of consistency.

  2. For a news website, relevant pictures are lacking.

  3. Navigation is cluttered.

  4. Columns are repeated unnecessarily.

  5. Brand color isn't maintained.

Redesign

Solutions

  1. I used a consistent font, Roboto, throughout the design.

  2. Pictures relevant to the articles were added to the design.

  3. Navigation was rethought; categories were simplified.

  4. Three main sections were created; Latest, popular, and others.

  5. The stand out brand color is green, so it is used for thin lines, categories, and navigation.

Summary

The live website is very simple, and I assume it's very intentional so in my design I made sure to maintain that.

That said, I included simple design principles aimed at making the website more consistent, vibrant and alive.

Thanks for learning with me!
