The Challenges
Creating a responsive website that works also for mobile version and create the same level of satisfaction (usability and enjoyability) of user experience for both desktop and mobile users is the biggest challenge.
The Duration
From ideating to soft launch: -/+ 1.5 months
Purpose
What do you think about the usual government’s official website? Is it boring? Too many text? Slow? Aesthetically unpleasant? Yes, I agreed. So, as a web director, I wanted to change this negative perspective into something great.
Acknowledgement
The Jakarta Post
JAIPONG (Japan Indonesia Partnership Lounge) is the name for the website that I created based on the idea of the actual “lounge” for both countries to sit and talk about partnership. When COVID-19 pandemic hit us, our access to meet each other in person was very limited, therefore, by launching this “partnership lounge”, we hoped that no matter the situation is, our cooperation and business-related partnership still goes on.
From online to offline
The clients love the idea of “partnership lounge” that I proposed, so they would like to incorporate the idea into the actual lounge which is located inside the Embassy of Republic of Indonesia at Yotsuya, Tokyo. Below is the UX design for offline visitors that I designed on November 2021.
