Tiivistelmä
This thesis is a product oriented thesis for a starting business, Blaze Digital Oy. Blaze Digital Oy is a company that has an online store. The thesis uses user centered approach and the agile workflow to design and develop the solution. The solution has four phases: requirement analysis, development, user testing and feedback.
In the requirement analysis phase, the deliverables are the requirement features and scenario. In the development phase, the deliverables are a prototype of the website, a cost structure break breakdown of the platform, features and services and the step-by-step instruction of the platform. In the user testing phase, five users were tested, and a recommendation of the solution was provided. In the feedback phase, the stakeholders provided instruction and feedback during each phase: requirement analysis, development and user testing.
Due to the issues with registration of the company paperwork and bank account, a full
prototype of a working solution was unable to be achieved. This meant that the stakeholders cannot purchase the platform, plugin or services. The deliverable solution is a test of the platform with documented instruction on how to setup, cost of domain name purchase, hosting, a prototype design of the user interface, and usability testing of the user interface are given as the deliverable solutions.
In the project thesis, user-centred approach was implemented. Research, data gathering qualitative questionnaires and data analysis were used to map the concept and develop the requirement features. The research and data gathering sources came from research papers, newsletter, online statistical data, and online blogs of individuals and companies. Qualitative survey was conducted with the stakeholders. The stakeholders were given twelve open-ended questionnaires as part of the design process. The responses were analysed using QDA Lite software to determine the features and mapping of the requirements.
User-centred approach was used to help design the wireframe. The prototype was a non-coding prototype with semi-finished features and functionalities on the Shopify platform. The prototype user interface was tested with five users as part of the usability test. The
usability test was to determine the validity of the concept and the usability of the design.
Normally, the usability test and recommendation are separated documentations.
