User centered design process
User research
I conducted user interviews of those people who are looking for a job in IT or any other industries where users need to show their work online to the managers or recruiters. I discovered many target users have a portfolio with multiple pages where recruiters need to explore multiple pages to find their work and judge them. However, many portfolios templates are overwhelming and confusing to navigate, which frustrated many target users. So I decided to make a simple one page portfolio where all the job-finders can use my product as their portfolio website and show their important projects to the managers or recruiters.
