Problem• Very difficult to search for information on Tufts
websites• No centralized search, a lot of separate search
systems• Google results do not cater to users searching for
specific information about Tufts
Objectives• Develop a prototype of a website for searching
of buildings, people, and websites• Investigate different views of the data and
assess designs with user testing• Serve as a foundation of research for future
implementation by TTS
Backend Design
UI Design ProgressionStep 1: Survey Findings• Most survey takers were students• 50.98% thought that homepages of Tufts websites link to
information they needed • However, hard to navigate to the information• Some used Google because it was faster• Hard to find phone number and office
Step 2: First Set of WireframesWith inspiration from MIT’s website, Stanford’s website and Tufts JumboSearch
Step 3: MockupsWith feedback from design review with TTS and usability tests
Step 4: Final Implementation
Conclusion/Future Directions• Our product demonstrates efficacy of combining
results from White Pages, Tufts Maps, and AccessTufts
• Improve speed of application• Find better way to rank results• Responsive visual design on mobile
