We’re looking for UX/UI talent! Do you have a background or interest in user experience design or user interface design? We’d love to see what you would do with our new soon-to-be release web app. Put yourself in the shoes of a user experience designer working for our company, and give the app a complete refresh. If you were redesigning the app to increase conversion rates, visual appeal, clarity, and customer delight - what would you change? This can include adding or removing elements from the page, adding interactive or animated features, changing the customer journey from this page, and/or completely redesigning the look and feel. Outcomes Your challenge submission can be an interactive mockup, flat wireframes, a functional website, a photoshop file - whatever gets your vision across. Please feel free to be creative and depart from the design of the rest of the site if you choose, but submissions that take into consideration our branding will be assessed more favourably. You can find out what we are doing at https://justtagit.com .... all the essential info is on the website... But, shhhh, our web app is under wraps until release....if you want to be part of the unveiling get in touch so we can share our staging server with you. If want to get a feel for our very very very old UI and functionality go to justtait.io ...but once we launch the new app (v3.0) this *.io site will be retired....
