Department of Energy (DOE)
Responsive redesign of the Energy.gov website’s information architecture and visual elements and layout.
Project Overview:
The Problem: The Department of Energy (DOE) website is a valuable resource for information about energy policy, research, and programs. However, the website can be difficult to use. The navigation is cluttered and especially difficult to navigate on mobile, and there are many visual accessibility conflicts with text, color, and images. As a result, users often have difficulty finding the information they need.
The Solution: I attempted a responsive redesign of the website for mobile and desktop to resolve these issues, which involved a complete overhaul of the site’s information architecture and visual design.
