đź“š Bachelor Thesis Project
My bachelor's thesis focused on website navigation, aiming to determine which type provides the best user experience. While I had my own assumptions as an occasional web developer, I wanted to validate them using analytical data.
🧪 Building a Testing Platform
To conduct this research, I built a web-based testing environment that delivered different navigation styles to respondents, measured their response times, and recorded their behavior for further analysis. The platform also supported in-person testing, where I could ask participants about their browsing habits and better understand their decision-making process.
⚙️ Flexible & Scalable Design
I designed the application as a modular testing environment, allowing for future usability studies beyond navigation testing. By structuring the code in flexible blocks, I could make quick adjustments—something that proved invaluable when fixing last-minute bugs before release.
🚀 Pure JavaScript & PHP Challenge
As a challenge, I avoided using frameworks for state and data management. Instead, the client-side was built with plain JavaScript, while the backend API was written in PHP.
🎨 User-Centered Experience
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable testing experience, I focused on clear, easy-to-understand Czech-language instructions, visually appealing design, and engaging animations. The feedback confirmed that this approach worked.
