Key Redesign Highlights

Streamlined Header Design

  • Included essential real-time information such as currency changes, location-based temperature, and the date in both Persian and Gregorian calendars.

  • Added language selection, login, and subscription options to improve accessibility and engagement.

Improved Content Display

  • Replaced the inefficient post slider with a headline section, categorizing news for better organization and introducing a link to a ‘Today’s News’ page.

  • Reduced page scroll by introducing tabs to categorize news and display the latest updates at a glance.

  • Added a ‘More News’ button for users to explore older articles.

Ad Placement Optimization

Relocated ads to a sidebar, ensuring they no longer distracted from the main content.

Footer Update

Consolidated primary categories and links for intuitive navigation and usability.

Research & Design Process

  • Conducted heatmap analysis to understand user behavior and guide layout improvements.

  • Benchmarked against leading news websites like FoxNews, NY Times, and CNN to incorporate best practices.

  • Designed high-fidelity prototypes in Adobe XD.

While my contributions were limited to the landing page, this redesign laid the groundwork for a more user-focused website. Further development on other pages did not continue after I left the company.
