Major Insights
After interacting with the current Wordpress website and mobile app, many errors during the site creation and customization process were discovered. The following issues are what my UI design aims to fix:
1. Separating profile settings from site-specific settings
2. Inability to create new custom pages. Currently only allows blog posts. Portfolio posts do not show up cross-platform.
3. Difficulty creating new posts. Unspecific upload options and nothing discerning feature images.
4. Malfunction of portfolio vs. blog pages – do not show up as a distinguished page category.
5. Prioritization of customization options. Themes and Media uploads difficult to find.
6. Inability to preview different responsive pages. Leaves app to preview website.
