Challenges
Players frequently faced difficulties finding and sharing effective loadouts due to fragmented online resources and poor user interfaces. Additionally, existing platforms lacked brand consistency and an intuitive UI, causing frustration and reduced user engagement. Ensuring secure, automated data integration through Make/Zapier without compromising user data was another significant technical challenge.
Goals
Create a visually consistent and user-friendly UI/UX that enhances engagement and usability.
Develop a robust UI Kit to maintain cohesive branding and streamline future design updates.
Solo develop a secure, automated integration workflow using Make/Zapier to enhance user interactions and backend data management.
Solution
A comprehensive design process was executed, starting with the creation of a distinctive brand identity and detailed UI Kit. Leveraging Webflow, Loadoutize was crafted to ensure intuitive navigation, clear visual hierarchy, and interactive elements designed specifically for gamers.
UI Kit and Branding: Developed a scalable and modular UI Kit that includes branded elements, consistent typography, buttons, icons, and layout structures, enabling rapid and coherent UI updates.
Automated Integration: Solo-implemented Make/Zapier integrations allowed secure automation of user-generated content updates, ratings management, and real-time synchronization with Firebase.
Interactive and Dynamic UX: Custom interactions and animations were designed to enhance engagement, providing instant feedback and easy navigation for users.
