Takeaways
Impact
Aroma will help busy adults learn how to cook. It offers extensive collections of recipes across various cuisines and categories. Users can explore a wide range of dishes, from simple and beginner-friendly recipes to complex and gourmet creations. Having access to a diverse selection of recipes allows users to choose dishes based on their skill level and culinary preferences.
What I learned
I have learned about responsive design frameworks, media queries, and techniques for creating flexible and mobile-friendly websites.
Next Steps
1. I would conduct another round of usability study to test the app with actual users.
2. Conduct more user research to determine any new areas of need.
3. Actually coding and making this website come to life.
