Challenge Faced
During the project, we faced a challenge with the client's color preference. They wanted the website to be mostly blue because it relates to the deity.
While this was important to them, it didn't work well for visual design and user experience.
During the project, we faced a challenge with the client's color preference. They wanted the website to be mostly blue because it relates to the deity.
While this was important to them, it didn't work well for visual design and user experience.
Solution
To solve this, I discussed the importance of visual design and user experience with the client. I explained that while blue was meaningful, it wasn't suitable for a religious website and might not give users the right feel.
Instead, I proposed a different color palette that aligned better with the site's spiritual essence. This new palette looked visually appealing and fit the religious theme.
By presenting this alternative and explaining its benefits, we found a solution that met the client's needs and enhanced the website's overall look.
