About The Project

Fresh look. Faster routes.

This redesign covered information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, UX writing, testing, final UI, and motion details. The goal was simple: give McDonald's a more modern digital presence while helping people reach key content with less effort.

Information Architecture

Start with the structure

The first step was reorganizing the content so people could find products, stores, and practical information without digging. A better tree made the rest of the redesign easier to trust and easier to use.

Wireframes

Prototype the route before polishing the look

Wireframes and early prototypes helped test page priorities, category logic, and browsing flow before the final visuals were locked in.

Interface

Minimal UI. Big appetite.

The final interface kept the chrome light and let the products carry the attention. Large visuals and simple navigation made the site feel more direct and more appetizing.

Store Locator

Rethinking discovery

Store search needed to work fast. We improved filters like McCafé, Kids Area, and opening times so people could find the right restaurant with less scanning and less doubt.

Nutrition

Help people understand what they eat

The nutritional calculator turned dense product data into something much easier to compare. It supported a practical need without making the experience feel heavy.

Mobile Version

Small screen, same clarity

Mobile layouts kept the same priorities: clear routes, easy scanning, and fast access to product details and nutritional information.

Product Page

More detail, less friction

The new product page made ingredients, nutrition, and visuals easier to scan. It gave each product more presence while keeping the structure light.

Even the 404 page matched the system
