final thoughts
takeaways + challenges:
1. Difficult to schedule user research sessions which delayed our process. Since our users are a very niche group, it was challenging to reach a large number of users.
2. Encountered technical restraints but we were able to quickly adapt our final designs to meet the constraints Squarespace posed.
3. Our design is tailored lot more to our primary user [residents] than our secondary user [medical students].
4. Working with a team allowed me to gain multiple perspectives and sharpen my UX research skills.
5. The site will be published once our client has added all the content onto the site!
