GLANSIS REDESIGN

As a part of an ongoing semester-long project in SI 307, I created a redesigned website for GLANSIS. NOAA's Great Lakes Aquatic Nonindigenous Species Information System (GLANSIS) is a searchable database with fact sheets, threat assessments, and maps designed to educate, inform, and control indigenous species in Michigan’s Great Lakes.

Project type: Wireframing and prototyping on Figma

Client: NOAA's Great Lakes Aquatic Nonindigenous Species Information System (GLANSIS)

Project Duration: August - December 2023

Location: Ann Arbor, MI

  • This redesign focuses on remodeling GLANSIS’s website, and in particular the Species List Generator, to improve modernization, information overload, user feedback, and navigation between web pages to enhance user experience.

  • GLANSIS, or the Great Lakes Aquatic Nonindigenous Species Information System, functions as a central resource for addressing challenges posed by invasive species in Michigan’s Great Lakes. It acts as a hub for information tools to aid in preventing and controlling aquatic nonindigenous species in the region.

SPECIES LIST GENERATOR

The 3 problems I addressed in the Species List Generator page were:

  1. Outdated, not aesthetically pleasing, and unordered across pages

  2. Too much information on the screen leading to information overload

  3. No user feedback and it’s hard to navigate between pages
