Prototypes were created in Figma, and because a majority of users preferred low contrast colors, we chose a dark theme as the software’s default backgroud color. We however gave the users the option of toggling between light and dark modes, using a toggle switch on their dashboard. We also made this toggle switch easily accessible from the navigation bar.
We also improved the navigation experience by adding a navigation drawer, which could be expanded or collapsed, depending on users’ preferences. Breadcrumbs were also added at top-levels of all pages, to help users move through different screens easily.
