DigitalDetectives — UI/UX Design | WordPress | WordPress Plugin

The task of this project was to create a website for the private detective agency DigitalDetectives. A feature that distinguishes DigitalDetectives from other agencies is the ability to create a profile where users can create their own investigations and track the investigation process. The development was carried out using WordPress. And since WordPress did not have the necessary plugins, it was decided to create our own plugin

First of all, we conducted all the necessary marketing research, such as niche, competitor and target audience analysis. Based on all this research, we came up with hypotheses and options for solving our problem. The next step was to create information architecture and user flow to develop the best possible user profile. Thanks to user flow, we developed a system for tracking investigations.

Based on all the above research, we created wireframes and visual design. For better understanding and testing, we created a clickable prototype in Figma.

After successfully completing the design, we implemented it using WordPress, creating a theme from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JS. In addition, we used the GSAP JS library and the ScrollTrigger plugin for animation. When we created the main part of the website, i.e. the informational part, we moved on to creating a WordPress plugin. All the necessary functionality was implemented, such as authorisation and registration, sending a one-time password, the ability to create and track investigations. We also created a system of investigation statuses and an email notification system that notified about each stage of the investigation. An important part was the creation of a user-friendly admin panel where the detective could enter all the necessary data regarding the investigation
