Complete redesign on Bootstrap with modular SASS and PHP as an integration layer
Redesigning an established online community is more delicate than building from scratch. Buzzjack had loyal users with deeply rooted browsing habits: chart forums, song contests (BJSC), real-time chats, and news blogs. Modernizing the interface without breaking existing flows, doing so across desktop and mobile versions with distinct behaviors, was the central knot of the project.
I designed specific components for the community's real-life use cases: a tab system for navigation between sections, chat with message bubbles, differentiated header and footer menus for mobile, and dark mode from the first deliverable. I handed over structured and documented code so the client could maintain it without external dependencies, as stipulated in the collaboration agreement.
