The process involved user analysis, research on various brands of laptops, user reviews, brainstorming and concept generation and various other design methods followed by prototype building and rigorous testing.

It was a pleasure working on this project as it challenged me to my limits. Excited to see the product in mass production as it is going to be manufactured and marketed by Firki Pvt. Ltd.

The website would carry large amounts of data, thus, ease of navigation and brand identification (for a consumer) was stressed upon. User analysis and user survey had to be done to come up with the Information architecture for the site followed by the wireframes and the UI.

The 9-color combination for the menu bar and the overall identity of SaleDekho.com was a lot of fun to work on.

An entertainment website would always pose a challenge. This one conveyed all the info on a user’s favorite Indian flick.

It was some experience to come up with the Information architecture for this website as there was every chance that the user could get lost in the huge amount of information that the site provides. The UI is kept simple and neutral.

The Custom-built wallpaper Slideshows and Flash MP3 players, the identity of the site and the overall retro appearance are plausible stand-outs from the project.
