Organizational Structure

Clear Navigation: Ensure the navigation within your app is intuitive and straightforward. Users should easily find their way around your app.

Categorize Activities: Group weather-based activity recommendations logically. For example, separate outdoor activities from indoor and culinary options.

Priority Content: Highlight the most relevant and engaging content. Just as Google should understand your most important web pages, your app should emphasize the activities or information that are of primary interest to users.

Logical Hierarchy: Create a logical hierarchy for your content. Users should be able to browse from general categories to specific activity details easily.

Internal Links: Implement internal links where relevant, guiding users to related content or activities. For instance, if a user is exploring outdoor activities, provide links to related indoor options when weather conditions are less favorable.

Clear Content Organization: Organize your app content neatly, just like you'd organize content on a website. Your app's content structure should match the logical flow that users expect.

High Fidelity Wireframes

High-Fidelity Prototypes: Used tools like Figma and Sketch to develop high-fidelity prototypes, incorporating visual elements and interactive components to simulate the final user experience.
