This modern redesign of AZLyrics, ranking top 5 out of 37 redesigns in an intro course to web development, revamps the usability and aesthetics of the once-popular lyrics website.
PLAY WITH PROTOTYPE
The downfall of AZLyrics, one of the most popular websites for searching lyrics in the early 2000s, is attributed to its outdated design failing to adhere to major design principles. As a redesign exercise, this project hopes to renovate the existing product by reimagining it as a modern website. By focusing on the main function of searching and reading lyrics, AZLyrics receives a whole new, refreshing look with enhanced features.

We evaluated the existing website and uncovered critical design problems.
From the get-go, the homepage is cluttered with unnecessary features that overshadow the main function of searching.
Hierarchy is lacking when it comes to delivering information, leaving the user guessing where to click next.
Parts do not align with each other, breaking the eye flow and making the information harder to digest.
New design adds a modern feel and emphasizes function.
The search bar is made bigger and better so users can click on it right away.
Lyrics are easier to read through the highlighter function that plays along with the music.
