Client Background
Noona’s Noonchi is a platform built for K-drama and K-pop fans across the world. It features blogs, K-culture book info, and a unique tool that helps fans explore real K-drama filming locations. The site acts as a gateway for people who want to learn more about Korean culture.
Problem Statement
The team wanted users to search for drama locations quickly and easily. They needed a feature where fans could type a drama name and see all the places it was filmed. These places also needed to appear on an interactive map. Their old site didn’t support this.
Our Approach
We followed a structured approach to build a smooth user experience.
- Requirement Analysis
We started by understanding their audience, business goals, and must-have features. This helped us define the right functionality. - Brainstorming with Client
We worked closely with the Noona’s Noonchi team. Together, we shaped the idea of a searchable database and mapped out how the location tool should work. - Scope Analysis
We listed all key features like search filters, map integration, and mobile compatibility. This helped us stay aligned with their expectations and timelines. - Wireframes & UX
We designed the user journey with a focus on ease of use. Wireframes showed how users would search for a drama, view results, and see the filming locations on a map. - UI Development
We created a clean and modern interface that matched their brand. The map and search results looked good on both desktop and mobile screens.
