Understanding of the problem

Heuristic Evaluation

Information Architecture

I listed the current information architecture to help me identify issues in the overall picture.

Wrong position

The main page features the Color Information section, which is causing confusion for me due to its placement in the central position of the navigation bar.
The main function of “add to favorite” is deeply embedded.
Phone/mail/message are categorized as the contact information which is at different levels on the IA.

Difficult Comprehension

4. Closure, It is confusing why users need to view the restaurant that is being closed.

Flow

Main Search page

Wireframe

I divided the search page into sections Navigation/search/main contents/filters

Main content layout for browsing

I explored two potential solutions for the main content layout in browsing mode. Ultimately, I chose a horizontal-scrolling page, allowing users to efficiently scan through information and select their preferred dining option.

Main content layout for searching

Navigation

I observed a misalignment between the navigation icons and their stylistic elements, so I standardized the style of the icons.

I considered two potential solutions for the main content layout in searching mode. I ultimately opted for the listing layout because it strikes a good balance between context and imagery.

Main content card

To accommodate the list view layout, I selected a card design for creating the restaurant details.

Search and filter

I developed two filter designs and settled on the side-by-side format. This choice allows users to intuitively see all possible filters, making it easier for them to refine results and make decisions.
