Upon joining the project, my teammate and I were introduced to the ideal state wireframe crafted by the previous blog team members. We were briefed on the status of the CCP blog which was still in development and not yet live due to pending Wix implementations. While the blog's foundational framework was in place, certain features were yet to be incorporated:

In response to our client's urgency to launch the blog, our first task was to define the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MVP served as a strategic tool which enabled us to prioritize features ranging from core blog necessities to aspirational elements for future enhancements. In this process, we also evaluated the feasibility of implementation, discerning between features that could be swiftly executed and those demanding more time and resources.

Our systematic approach in outlining the MVP served several purposes. First, it enabled us to prioritize the most critical and practical features for implementation. Also, by expediting the blog launch we would be able to accelerate the process of gathering user feedback. Lastly, it allowed our small design team to allocate resources efficiently to ensure a timely launch.

To ensure efficient communication and track our progress throughout the project we adopted an agile approach. This included daily standups with the full CCP design team which encouraged alignment and allowed for issue resolution. In addition, we actively engaged in scrum ceremonies such as backlog grooming and sprint planning that required us to create user stories to be pointed as well as schedule stories for upcoming sprints based on our blog team’s velocity.

The agile framework allowed us to adapt swiftly in order to address errors or modify our strategy when needed. An example of this occurred when we encountered a technical constraint in Wix with the blog post repeater, making it seemingly impossible to customize the component for different posts. For context, the blog consisted of two types: posts linked to published Forbes articles and posts with original content created for the CCP site. The challenge was that we wanted to display a button linking out to Forbes on specific posts while excluding it from others. Oddly, the posts with original content were showing empty, non-clickable buttons which was not acceptable as it could confuse visitors.

With the resolution of the button issue, our team was able to resume the implementation of features required for the blog MVP. One of these crucial elements was the integration of tabs to facilitate user content sorting. The ideal sketch we inherited featured tabs labeled: General, Career, Coaches, & Businesses. However, we found these labels redundant as each blog post also had assigned tags for filtering which were labeled: Career Services, Leadership, & Team Building.

Upon client consultation, we realized that the tabs could be more effectively utilized to allow users to sort content by format such as: "Articles" for in-depth posts, "Panels" for concise info, and "All" for both formats combined. This refinement was achieved by introducing a content type field into the Content Management System (CMS) which was then linked to datasets on the blog page for each tab.

TAKEAWAYS | Mastering the Wix platform was a significant part of the project. I invested time to gain an understanding of its capabilities by leveraging online resources, tutorials, and support forums in order to effectively implement the desired blog features. This experience emphasized the value of adaptability and continuous learning in the evolving landscape of web design tools.


Additionally, our team faced a challenge within the Wix platform which limited simultaneous editing. To tackle this challenge, our team established strong communication channels, held daily standups to synchronize edits, and implemented a systematic review process post-publish. This approach allowed us to work around the platform's limitations and keep the site cohesive.

TAKEAWAYS | Mastering the Wix platform was a significant part of the project. I invested time to gain an understanding of its capabilities by leveraging online resources, tutorials, and support forums in order to effectively implement the desired blog features. This experience emphasized the value of adaptability and continuous learning in the evolving landscape of web design tools.

HANDOFF | To streamline the onboarding process for new collaborators, I created tutorial videos with step-by-step guidance for how to maintain the blog. These instructional resources aimed to bridge potential knowledge gaps and make it more approachable for individuals who may be less familiar with the CCP site or Wix as a web design platform. The goal was to both ensure a smoother transition for future team members and contribute to the overall sustainability of the blog page.

TESTING | The next phase of the blog project would be to conduct usability testing with real users to evaluate the site's functionality and gather feedback. Simultaneously, our design team could perform a heuristic evaluation of the newly launched blog to pinpoint areas in need of refinement.

NEW FEATURES | There are a few outstanding elements from the original concept sketch which could be implemented: share icon & search bar feature. These enhancements have the potential to boost engagement and could be explored to further enhance the overall user experience.

The Career Coaching Pro (CCP) blog project was a collaborative journey in which I worked closely with the client to create a purposeful blog tailored to their user's needs. To ensure success, our team strategically defined a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) which prioritized key features for the blog. While we faced challenges within the Wix platform, we navigated the limitations by emphasizing adaptability and coordination. This project highlighted the adoption of agile methodologies, importance of continuous learning, and benefits of an iterative design approach. Looking ahead, the blog's future success relies on maintaining usability, functionality, and content relevant to aspiring professionals who are seeking to advance their careers.
