Inviwo
Modernization of the official Inviwo website
Inviwo Profile
Inviwo is a software framework with the intended use of
visualizing scientific data. Important for the redesigning of the
website is knowing who your target audience is.
What's the target age-group? How proficient are they with computer
technology?
What are their main goals in visiting the
website?
All those and more questions have to be addressed
to create an intuitive and satisfying user experience.
For the Inviwo website the target audience mainly consists of
scientists that want to visualize their complex data. The
age-group is estimated to range from about 18 to 65 years, where
the majority of visitors will trend towards the lower limit. Now
the audience will split into two groups: visitors that intend to
use Inviwo for their projects and visitors that only want to
inform themself about the framework. This and more analysis will
then determine the main services of the website.
In this
case we wanted a website that delivers the download of the Inviwo
framework within a easy as possible. The second big part is the
general information about what Inviwo is and what it is capable
of. The last major goal of the website is teaching Inviwo. From
getting started tutorials to in depth information about Inviwo,
nothing should stand in the way of being able to use Inviwo for
great results.
Tutorials
In addition to the website and documentation, we created short video tutorials to get beginners up to speed quickly. The tutorials are screencaptures of the Inviwo software with audio explanation. To better understand what is explained audibly and what is performed on screen, I created animations to visually aid and connect the explanation.
