According to Jesse James Garrett, the user experience development process is all about ensuring that no aspect of the user’s experience with your site happens without your conscious, explicit intent. This means taking into account every possibility of every action the user is likely to take and understanding the user’s expectations at every step of the way through that process.
Jesse James Garrett also explains that strategy incorporates not only what the people running the site want to get out of it but what the users want to get out of the site as well.
The main goals of this website is for users to discover what kind of wine drinker they may be. A personality test was chosen rather than a Q&A quiz, so clever users could not find the answers via their browser's developer tool.
-
First Time User Goals
- First time users will want to know which type of wine drinker they are.
- First time users will want to have fun.
-
Returning User Goals
- Returning users will want to compare various answers to discover the different types of wine drinker.
- Returning users will want to have fun.
-
Frequent User Goals
- Frequent user will want to test their friends.
- Frequent users will want to have fun.
According to Jennifer V. Fayard Ph.D., one of the reasons people like to take personality tests in the first place is that they want to learn about ourselves.
The project must have a responsive design as many users are using different devices (mobile, tablet, laptop/desktop). This gives the user the best experience on their device.
- Responsive on all devices sizes
- All elements are consistent including font size, font family, colour scheme.
According to WebFX, wireframes give web developers a clear path of what has to be done. It clarifies the direction and objectives of the site build and allows for better decision-making as to which web technologies, techniques and processes should be used in order to achieve an excellent result.
For this project, wireframes were created using Balsamiq

The main colours for this project are a light shade of brown (#F1D8BC) and Gray44 (#707070).
The font used throughout the project is Montserrat, whilst the headers (h1 and h2) are in Varela Round, with Sans Serif as the fallback font in case for any reason the font isn't being imported into the site correctly.
