Memopol v2.0

Design of the Memopol v2.0 project from La Quadrature du Net. Memopol (a.k.a Political Memory) is a tool to help citizens reaching out to their representatives and track their voting records on a specific subject. This is a currently ongoing project.

Objectives :

  • Sorting, organizing and schematizing information to make it accessible at a glance,
  • Meet the different uses of the platform,
  • Facilitate interactions to encourage the participation in La Quadrature's campaigns and the actualization of the database.

Work :

  • Brainstorming and discussion with the community workers to define their usages of the tool,
  • Interface design and UX conception (mockups and wireframes),
  • Participation to the integration (html/css) with a team of front-end developpers.

An important work of usages identification was carried out in advance, through brainstormings and user interviews.

To meet the different uses of the platform, a specific care was taken to render the website accessible on multiple devices.

For mobile versions, the most important information are preselected. Moreover, the details for each case or paliementarian were distributed amond different tabs, loading only when displayed, to avoid downloading to much data over mobile networks.

Each page was made to allow a plain and understandable default print version, summarizing the main information on an A4 page.
