Georgia Tech Student Center

Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration | Worked on a 3-person team

We followed the process as a team but I was specifically responsible for organizing user testing and designing and implementing the Exhibition Hall Rooms page.

User Testing


For user testing, I developed questions and tasks to find the current issues in the Drupal 7 iteration so that we can design and implement solutions. I also had participants rank the appearance and usability of the pages. To make data collection easier, I created a google form for my team to fill out as we were conducting interviews.

We collected 7 responses.

Tasks:

  1. Starting from the home page, navigate to the page containing the hours of operation for the Student Center.
  2. Going from the hours of operation page, navigate to the page containing information for the Student Center’s major activities.
  3. Going from the major activities page, navigate to the page with a map of West Village.
  4. Part 1: Going from the West Village map page, navigate to the page containing information about the Student Center Post Office.

Exhibition Hall Rooms


My goal is to give a more modern look, white space, and the amount of scrolling needed for the page. First, I put the buttons in a horizontal row so that the page is more symmetrical and it took away the white space under campus services. Second, I organized the room list into 3 columns instead of 2 which greatly reduced the length of the page. I want to highlight the room list is a content type. I created a form in which content managers can fill out and a thumbnail view will automatically generate and be added to the room list. Additionally, a room page will be generated from the same form which includes room description and gallery.
