Photoshop - UX - Web Design Project 3

Our next UX web design project consists of updating another old, out-dated website and giving it a new, fresher, modern design.

Many new tips and web design tricks revealed in this project. Learn why I chose a sticky menu for this website, why I chose a hidden menu (via the Hamburger icon), how I created a seamless gradient background (from header to hero to the footer) for a modern flair, more pro tips on images, how to work with a third party application as part of your UX web design, and much more.


Photoshop - UX - Web Design Project 4

In this UX web design project the learning continues! Starting off with a large Hero image as the backdrop of the UX design. This image alone will elevate this companies existing brand and will distinguish it as a leader in it’s area. As great as the image is it could be better. We’ll make it better by learning how to remove 2 cars from the foreground… you’ll learn how to retouch like a pro.

The next part of this web design, involves creating a great (UX) user experience by giving visitors exactly what they are looking for. In this case a place to rent. You’ll achieve this by designing a filter, in the Hero section, that will allow visitors to narrow down their search.

If visitors are not ready to do business through this site, they’ll be more so after scrolling down to the first section that includes 4 benefit driven services. You’ll learn how to create 4 custom icons from scratch and tips on how to sell your client on showcasing their benefits. Plus, additional tips throughout for communicating with your client on why you designed the page the way you did.

Then, I’ll give you some UX design tips for quickly, and easily adding multiple listings by using Command/Control J (Photoshop shortcut). This section of the web design project has a lot more pro tips. One of which is arranging, styling and choosing fonts to make it easier to read content.

We’re not done with what you’ll learn in this project! In fact, I give you 2 services you can up-sell your clients on (you’ll put in your design first since it’s so easy to do and then you sell them on it). One of which can put more money in their pocket with very little effort. Your clients will have a hard time turning down money. The hard part is deciding how much to charge. Which is entirely up to you.


Photoshop - UX - Web Design Project 5

Your next UX web design project consists of taking an old, out-dated, government text based design and creating a more image based web design. Why the switch? The “government” is trying to sell their location to tourists and images tell the story better than text. After all, an “image is worth a thousand words”.

You’ll start off with a simple Header and Hero section.

Then, you’ll learn more about typography choices and styling, for Photoshop.

How the right choice of images is important and the wrong choice can be a disaster.

Learn how to create a pop-up Hover state, in Photoshop

and much more

So far, most of our UX web design projects have had a modern, clean UX web design style applied to them. Not this time. We’re going all out on transforming a plain, boring site with a bold, fun retro design style.

You’ll start off by creating a retro slider for the Hero section. Then you’ll design an e-commerce like body section featuring old-movie posters. All while learning more pro UX web design tips along the way!
