Overview
This UX research report examines the Linguistics Justice League’s (LJL) non-profit website aimed at bridging the gap between low-resource languages and English. LJL conducts language workshops, develops applications, and collaborates with other organizations. The website, while functional, lacks intuitive navigation according to findings from: comparative analysis, personas/scenarios, card sorting, and usability testing.
Key findings reveal the 'Donate' section, crucial for LJL’s goals, is non-functional and diverges significantly from better-performing sites. This issue was highlighted in comparative analysis and usability testing.
To enhance the website, the report suggests: requirements analysis, user interviews/surveys, user journey mapping, and desirability studies.

Lack of Visual Hierrarchy
Some pages, like the "About Us" page, lack a clear visual hierarchy that assists users in quickly identifying the most important information. For instance, there's extensive text without subheadings or visual cues to guide users through the content, making navigation and information digestion challenging.

Comparative Analysis
There are companies that communicate their mission better and are more successful in gathering donations. Comparative analysis brings insights into the successful structures of other sites and highlights how the LJL’s website presents itself next to them.
These are the sites I am concentrating on to learn from their approach.

Group 1: Donors
Even though all user groups are critical for the organization's function, the leading financial stream to fuel the organization's mission comes from this user group.
It is essential to research what makes this user feel secure about the money they donate, and how we might raise the organization's credibility by improving their website for this type of user.
It is critical to showcase all the necessary information to let the user make an informed decision and offer them a quick path to donate.
Nowadays, many other organizations invite people to contribute, so if the way to achieve this task isn’t straightforward, the user will find another charity to invest in.

Group 2: Volunteers
The next group of users is volunteers. They help the organization move forward and reach its goals.
This user group is not meant to be return users to the website, still, if the person is looking for volunteer opportunities, the site should provide all the necessary information and an easy way to apply, which currently doesn’t happen.
Volunteers have to use third-party websites such as VolunteerMatch.org. Then, research LJL independently.

Group 3: Beneficiaries
LJL aims to help kids who speak low-resource languages to learn English. This user group includes kids, old enough to browse the site, and their parents or guardians.
Currently this segment isn’t developed at all. There is no way for someone who doesn’t speak English sufficiently to find the necessary information on the site without using a third-party translation apps and hoping that the context didn’t get lost in a machine translation.
Volunteers and the founder of LJL collaborate with other organizations, participate in charity events, and find different ways to reach out to this user group and help them. However, this is a large area of opportunity for the site to reach a broader audience in its direct target group and worth exploring.

Similarity Matrix
Similarity Matrix is intended to give you a quick insight into the cards your participants paired together in the same group the most often.
This view shows the proportion of participants who grouped any 2 cards in the same category. For each pair of cards, the intersecting cell shows the percentage of participants who grouped these cards together.
The cluster of the most closely related pairings along the right edge of the table. The darker clusters can be a great starting point to identify potential groupings.
Similarity Matrix informs that people often group together topics with the same words in them, for example, 100% of the participants grouped product update articles, product demos, product reviews, product 1 introduction, and product 2 introduction together.

Test Description
Three volunteers were given five tasks to complete on the Linguistics Justice League website as part of this usability test. This test was created to provide information on how challenging it is to use the website's common functions.
Recommendations for a redesign can be made by analyzing how simple the tasks were for participants to complete. The following script was used to present the usability test to each participant, explain its objectives, explain how the session would run, and get their consent to record it.

User Journey
An in-depth understanding of the user may be gained by using journey map technique. Donors/volunteers/beneficiaries’ paths through the site may show where people are being slowed down and get confused. Additionally, it can point out errors, areas of possible improvements or omissions, and find holes in the user experience, such as:
credibility and trust promoting user path and information architecture
gaps between devices, when a user switches from one device to another
gaps between expected content and actual content.
The fact that a user journey map makes it evident how consumers progress through the user flow of a particular task may be its most significant advantage. More user engagements will occur quicker if that path is optimized for efficiency, and the user retention rate will rise.

Desirability Study
Visual elements can trigger an emotional response from the user. It’s essential to understand which response is desired and influence users appropriately. Desirability Studies are a great way of measuring how much certain designs evoke specific responses relative to each other.
While conducting desirability studies, a participant gets presented with different variations of visual design and is asked to make an association from a word list to understand emotional response better.
The approach is a good research method for this website because often the decision to donate is influenced by the emotional state of the person. This study analyzes what emotional response is being triggered by certain design decisions. The study will help with:
- color themes
- content phrasing
- layout
- elements placements and more
