Project Description

At Excurvant, our team is always trying to create a better user experience and interface for our users. Currently, we’re trying to develop the best online social travel community, which combines the three most vital components of the industry: discovery, booking, and sharing. Thus, we’re in need of a motivated and talented team looking to utilize their engineering & design skills to help improve the overall UX/UI for Excurvant’s sharing methods. This includes (not limited to…) better uploading experience, viewing methods, and customization options to make the platform more personalized for travelers all around the world. Please contact us with any further questions regarding the project description.

Goals

Provide a seamless, simplistic, and fun UX/UI for travelers all around the world to discover, book, and share their journeys.

Constraints

The only constraint involved with this project is the programming framework that Excurvant is built off, which is the Node.js framework.

 

Impact

 

This project has the potential to be monumental in the travel industry. Excurvant is trying to become the central router of all travel activity throughout the world. We believe the travel industry is incredibly fragmented and we want to centralize all activity. Students who are involved in this project have the chance to work on an Internet company that can revolutionize the travel industry.

 

Resources

 

There are no specific resources the team is expected to need in order to complete the project. The developed solutions will be built off separate modules.

 

Group Summary

Excurvant is looking to streamline their current methods for a better user experience. To get the better user experience there needs to be more intuitive user interface, and the inclusion of customization options. To get a full working website where users can book and share, there needs to be back-end development which includes a full stack and database to hold all accounts and information. Implementing a seamless UX/UI requires a lot of visual input from the Excurvant team.

 

Identified Pains

Poorly organized website leads to user frustration.

Site is not streamlined for easy use.

Features are not fully implemented

 

Proposed Problem Description

The UI is not intuitive, slow, promotes a very frustrating experience. Not finished, only the landing page exists. 

Proposed Goals

  • Make the website more streamline via more intuitive UX/UI
  • Full stack development (backend, database, etc…)
  • Implementing features such as customization, better uploading experience, view methods and etc
