Project Overview

Project Overview

Hematobieg.org is a website created to support a charity run organized by the Foundation for Helping People with Leukemia. The platform enables volunteers and participants to register for the event, learn key details (location, schedule, route, attractions), and engage with the Foundation’s mission: helping individuals battling blood cancers. The website needed to be fast, intuitive, emotionally supportive, and accessible to users of all ages, including people with limited digital experience.

Problem Statement

Problem Statement

The Foundation lacked a clear and easy-to-navigate website dedicated to their charity run. Existing communication channels were fragmented, making it difficult for users to:

  • find event details quickly

  • understand where and how to sign up

  • complete registration without confusion

  • access legal information and event logistics

  • feel emotionally connected with the cause

The Foundation also needed visual coherence and modern communication materials for social media to promote the event effectively.

The goal was to design a simple, friendly website that would:

  • guide users smoothly through the registration process

  • clearly communicate practical details (date, location, rules, route, attractions)

  • increase event sign-ups

  • strengthen emotional connection with the Foundation’s mission

  • provide a reliable base for marketing and social media promotion

My role

My role

As part of a three-designer UX team, I was responsible for gathering requirements, mapping the user journey and registration flow, and creating wireframes and early mockups for the website. I designed the registration form and legal notes, refined the UI, prepared the UI Kit and documentation for developers, adapted the layouts for mobile, and created social media graphics supporting the event promotion. Throughout the project, I collaborated closely with the development team to ensure smooth implementation.
Additionally, I supported the Foundation’s communication by overseeing their social media presence and creating posts and graphics using tools such as Procreate, Canva, and Figma.

Discovery & Requirements Alignment

Discovery & Requirements Alignment

The project began with in-depth conversations with the Foundation’s team, during which we clarified the event’s purpose, gathered all essential information, and outlined the expectations for the website. We discussed visual direction, user needs, and the types of content required to effectively guide participants through the charity run registration process. Based on this, I mapped the initial User Journey and created a clear User Flow for sign-ups, ensuring the experience would feel simple and intuitive from the very first interaction.

Information Architecture & Early Mockups

Information Architecture & Early Mockups

Once the structure was clear, I moved into wireframing to translate the agreed vision into tangible layouts. I focused on clarity, readability, and effortless navigation, especially for users who may not be experienced with digital forms. I designed the entire registration process, including necessary legal notes and consent sections, and created the first visual mockups to explore the hierarchy, layout rhythm, color palette and tone of communication across the site.

Key elements:

  • Low-fidelity wireframes for core pages

  • Planning the full registration form and legal notes

  • Structuring key informational sections

  • Early mockups exploring layout and hierarchy

Visual Refinement, Functional Improvements & UI Documentation

Visual Refinement, Functional Improvements & UI Documentation

With the first mockups reviewed, I refined the interface to improve readability, structure, and visual balance. I strengthened the hierarchy, adjusted spacing, and clarified CTAs to guide users smoothly toward registration. At this stage, I also prepared the foundational UI Kit and documentation for developers, ensuring consistency and making the implementation process easier and faster.

Mobile Version & Responsive Adjustments

Mobile Version & Responsive Adjustments

After completing the desktop layouts, I redesigned all components and sections for mobile screens. The goal was to ensure the website remained fully intuitive and easy to use on smaller devices, where the majority of participants were expected to complete their registration. This included reorganizing content blocks, optimizing tap-targets, and designing collapsible sections to keep the experience clean and effortless.

Testing, Polishing & Developer Collaboration

Testing, Polishing & Developer Collaboration

In the final stage, I worked closely with the development team to ensure the website behaved exactly as intended. Together we tested form validation, responsiveness, loading behavior, and navigation across devices. Small adjustments were implemented to perfect spacing, registration flow clarity, and overall usability before launch.
