Description:
This project centered on the information architecture and user experience (UX/UI design) for "May the Fos Be With You," a high-end digital platform created for Archifos. The primary goal was to transform complex lighting design research and rich media into a sleek, accessible, and manageable online experience.
The Design Challenge
The platform needed a sophisticated visual presence to match the premium, aesthetic nature of the reviewed cordless lights, while also solving critical content management issues:
Scaling Content: How to accommodate an expanding library of 14+ product reviews (text, photos, video) efficiently.
User Access: Creating a clear pathway for public engagement while protecting proprietary, in-depth research through a members-only area.
Client Management: Ensuring the Archifos team could easily update individual light reviews without needing a developer or complex coding.
Web Design Solution (UI/UX)
The design solution leveraged the technical capabilities of the chosen platform to create a seamless and elegant user journey:
Information Architecture: Implemented a clear, two-tiered access system:
Public Landing Page: Focused on high-impact visuals and campaign storytelling.
Private Member's Area: Gated access leading to the full, detailed research reports.
Dynamic Page Implementation: The core design feature was the use of Wix Dynamic Pages. This solution allowed for the standardization of a single, elegant page layout that automatically populates content (images, specs, text) from a central database for each of the 14+ portable lights.
Result: This eliminated the need to design and manage 14+ individual pages, drastically improving scalability and reducing future maintenance efforts.
Aesthetic UI: Employed a minimalist, warm, and cinematic aesthetic—mirroring the high-end interior design context of the lights—using clean lines, generous white space, and a focus on large, high-quality visuals to emphasize the "luminous essence" of the products.
Technical Base & Implementation
Platform: Wix (chosen for its robust database integration and user-friendly CMS).
Key Technical Skill: Expert implementation of Dynamic Pages and Database Integration for efficient content display and management.
Access Control: Configuration of the Wix Members Area for secure, dedicated access to the full, detailed review sections, ensuring content value and exclusivity.
