Usability and UX Can Make Space Cool for Everyone
Summary
To make this massive amount of data more user-friendly, we worked with NASA to design a site that’s easily searchable, navigable, and enhanced through audio, video, social media feeds, and calendars. Older students with space-related aspirations can learn about internship and career opportunities, and teachers can access lesson plans and STEM resources. Some website projects are tailor-made for a simple development plan that moves from a concept to design, construction, testing, and implementation in a structured, linear way. Our DevOps culture brings together all stakeholders to collaborate throughout the process to achieve: If we had to build the entire site then take it live, it would have taken much longer for NASA and its users to have a new resource. NASA’s project is also an illustration of how building your website in stages, getting input from all stakeholders, and validating and testing each step of the way can lead to great results.
