Discovering premier harp lessons and trustworthy instrument shops can be challenging. Navigating the diverse realm of harp education and selecting quality instruments requires thoughtful consideration.

When designing our harp shop and lessons website, we focused on overcoming common challenges to ensure a seamless user experience. Navigating through the platform is now intuitive, with clear menus and a logical flow. We've introduced interactive features, such as easy access contact buttons, to make the user feel easier to approach the shop.

By addressing these concerns, our website aims to provide a user-friendly and effective platform for harp enthusiasts of all levels.

Following in-depth market and user research specific to harp enthusiasts, I started compiling theoretical knowledge and insights from real harpists' experiences. This process has guided the initial stages of designing a platform like Maria-Jacobsson, aiming to create value for both users and the harp market.

Our harps echo tales of our history and contemporary melodies, revealing the rich narrative of our musical journey.

Researching harp users involves analyzing their behaviours, needs, and motivations through techniques such as observation, task analysis, and various feedback methods. Our efforts have included conducting 12 user interviews specifically with individuals passionate about harps and music.

Abundant data was collected, allowing us to precisely delineate their user base, understand the behaviours of these users, and identify several potential use cases for the app.

A product's relevance hinges on understanding its purpose, problem-solving capacity, and intended audience. Our aim was to ensure Maria Jacobsson's website addresses harp-related challenges with clarity. We endeavored to make harp resources easily accessible and straightforward for users.

Construct modal sections featuring customized positioning to offer additional content on demand. Enhance user experience by seamlessly integrating these modals, providing users with easy access to supplementary information tailored to their needs.

I designed & developed a mobile application tailored for harp enthusiasts, capable of handling essential tasks. Upon entering the Home Page, our harp platform establishes an artistic ambiance and offers the choice to explore local harp or top-rated harp resources globally, showcasing the website's international reach. Through UI testing, we gained insights on optimizing the application's structure to ensure the best possible user experience for visitors to Maria Jacobsson's harp website. Recognizing the shortcomings of our initial version, which focused solely on visuals, led to a more comprehensive and user-centric redesign.

Maria Jacobsson has exciting plans to enhance her harp website, and there's much collaboration ahead as we continue to work on refining the site. Stay tuned for the upcoming developments!
