Inspiration💡
Our team inspired by the real-life experiences of an international student managing study permits at UC Davis, aims to build an intuitive website for people of various backgrounds to manage their documents and visas efficiently. We recognized the challenges encountered when preparing to travel abroad, particularly the difficulties in obtaining necessary visa information and other related data. Our mission is to streamline this process with a user-friendly website that presents detailed information about destination countries in a clean, visually engaging design. We intend to leverage our design skills to enhance user experience, prioritizing neatness and graphic representation.
Moreover, we seek to connect our initiative with global humanitarian issues. Many countries today require aid due to war, poverty, and natural disasters, a fact that potential travelers may not be aware of. Our platform aims not only to simplify visa processes but also to educate users about the realities in various countries. We hope to inspire our users to contribute and help those in need. Together, we grow.
What it does👀
Visaid welcomes you with a user-friendly interface, asking you questions about your identity, destination, and passport type to tailor the information to your needs. Our interactive map enhances your browsing experience, allowing you to select your destination by clicking on it directly, eliminating the need to type.
After processing your basic information, Visaid quickly presents relevant visa and passport type, simplifying your pre-travel research. If you decide on a travel destination, our platform stands ready to provide comprehensive visa and passport assistance. As you navigate through our website, you'll discover a wealth of resources to aid your travel planning.
We believe in making travel a force for good and encourage this through our innovative point system. You earn points based on your flight miles, which can be redeemed to support countries and organizations in need. As you traverse the world, your journey contributes to a greater cause. Your points will be converted into donations to the countries of your choice, turning your travel into a pathway for change. At Visaid, we're not just about facilitating travel; we're about fostering global solidarity.
How we built it💻
Our journey in building Visaid began with an in-depth research phase, during which we explored the complex landscape of global travel and visa access while also identifying key issues and the 17 sustainable development goals faced by underprivileged communities around the world. Through our research, we conceptualized our platform to bridge these gaps, serving the dual goals of streamlining the visa process and fostering global philanthropy.
Armed with this vision, we turned to Figma to translate our ideas into digital prototypes. We designed a user-centric interface to ensure that every feature is intuitive and effective. We focus on creating seamless connections between travelers and the countries they need to travel to, and on making the visa process as straightforward as possible.
Through iterative design and user testing, our prototype evolved. We incorporated feedback, refined our solutions, and ensured that our platform not only lived up to our vision, but also catered to the needs and expectations of our users.
Challenges we ran into💦
One significant challenge was creating a responsive text or picture description upon mouse hover, which required diligent research, online tutorials, and the shared knowledge within our team. Also, the map feature posed its challenges, including the intricacies of chart selection, country area hover capabilities, horizontal scrolling, and transitioning to the next section. These aren't commonly seen functionalities, but we explored and successfully integrated them.
Accomplishments that we're proud of💃
Our website not only delivers essential details but also presents them in an engaging, visually appealing manner, enhancing the user experience. We tried our best to incorporate all UI/UX knowledge to standardize our project. Beyond the tangible outcomes, we're proud of our team’s adaptability and learning agility throughout the project. Our achievements with Visaid are a prove to our commitment, ingenuity, and collective drive for excellence.
What we learned📖
Throughout this project, we honed our animation skills and gained valuable experience in tackling unique challenges.
Our diverse experiences with Figma served as a learning platform for all. We cross-educated each other on animation intricacies within Figma, leading to enhanced control over the tool. The project, intense and time-constrained, united us towards a common goal. The bond we formed and the knowledge we gained through this collaborative experience is something we will carry forward. Our journey with Visaid was as much about learning as it was about creating.
What's next for Visaid🌟
We are really look forward to explore and work on our website in the future, such as adding more information about the visas and passport type version, keeping updates with different embassy, keep track with the people and organizations the users aided to make our website a logical and solid project. We are excited about making a community to connect Visaiders all around the world!
