Dominvrt
In this project, I undertook a complete redesign of a web news portal called Dominvrt.si. The portal focuses on providing useful tips for homes and gardens, household tricks, environmental care, and domestic pets. Using Figma, I created a design system that would serve as a foundation for the website's front-end. To implement the design, I utilized Angular and Tailwind CSS. The new design aimed to enhance user experience and engagement on the website.

Background
Dominvrt.si is a comprehensive web news portal that offers valuable tips and tricks related to homes, gardens, household management, and environmental care. However, the website was plagued with an outdated design and challenging navigation, leading to a significant decline in traffic and user engagement. This made it essential to revamp the website and improve its overall design and functionality to cater to the modern user's preferences and expectations.
Objective
The primary objective of this project was to create a fresh design that would make the website more user-friendly, visually appealing, and easy to navigate. Another crucial aspect was to enhance the loading speed of the website, ensuring it is responsive across all devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. This would cater to the needs of users who access the website from various platforms, providing them with a seamless browsing experience.
Process
To initiate the process, I conducted a meticulous analysis of the website's existing design, pinpointing its weaknesses and areas for improvement. Subsequently, I developed a design system using Figma, which took into account the brand's color palette, typography, and visual elements. This helped in creating a cohesive and appealing design language. To demonstrate the flow of the new design, I developed wireframes and prototypes, ensuring that the navigation was simple, intuitive, and accessible.
Result
The resulting design was significantly more visually appealing and user-friendly, with clear navigation pathways and intuitive content organization. The website was also optimized for mobile devices, ensuring a seamless user experience across various platforms. As a result, the redesign led to a notable increase in traffic and user engagement, with users spending more time browsing the website and viewing additional pages.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the redesign of Dominvrt.si was a resounding success, achieving its primary objective of creating a modern and user-friendly website. The new design system and front-end implementation played a crucial role in increasing user engagement and traffic, highlighting the importance of design and usability in website development. This project serves as a testament to the significance of understanding user needs and preferences in creating an engaging online platform.
