Old vs New
Ideation & Experience

The Stay Upright digital experience on the website needed a refresh

Our team thought of the user experience from an end user point of view and how quickly a user is able to reach their end objective – to book a course in their chosen state, close by or convenient to them and make a payment, all in just a few simple steps. We integrated the locations with Google Maps and ARLO as the payment gateway.

While the Stay Upright is built on WordPress as the chosen platform, we used Neomorphism as the chosen way to define the front end user experience.

Design

So, what is Neomorphism?

Some may have heard of the skeuomorphism approach made popular by the likes of Apple in the early user interface design or the several 3D real-looking app icons we saw in the past as a much popular trend.

Neomorphism is relatively new, a design language and a trend that the aesthetics of the interface is marked by a mix of the minimal simplicity of the flat designs trend we saw in the past few years and skeuomorphism which we saw with the likes of Apple etc and the design of almost real looking buttons and user interface designs. The key factor in neomorphism is how depth is treated which allows better focus on the different elements and how a user interacts with these neomorphic elements in the design.

Methodology

Stay Upright offers a variety of courses, are spread across all of Australian states and they offer services for a wide variety of riders, we designed the web experience to be very simple yet aesthetically pleasing with smarts such as Google Maps and location aware content, integration with ARLO as the payment gateway, Google Analytics and we wanted to ensure the brand, content and helpful content was also displayed in a way to was helped in the overall brand experience connecting with Stay Upright.

I want to thank EVERYONE for your time and patience. In particular the guys at Mobiddiction. They have worked round the clock to get us here, and I am super happy with the result.
