About Zensus
ZENSUS is a nationwide official statistics project in Germany, providing reliable population and housing figures for politics, administration, business, science and the general public.
As the citizen who living in this country, I was also inquired and became one of the denominators of results from ZENSUS 2022. Since that I am very curious about the results of it.
Problems in current datenbank cause disjointed and inefficient user experience
The website lacks a coherent structure and clear guidance on the homepage, which does not offer appealing information. It also has ineffective search and filter functions, limited customizability and operability of data tables, and does not provide users with the possibility to visualize information geographically.
Based on preliminary research, the composition of the entire site was redesigned and the function of each page was clearly defined. These changes were made to help users find a clear route through datenbank websites and eliminate confusion.
Homa page
The home page serves as the platform's gateway and establishes the first impression. Upon entering, users immediately see the primary feature—the search function—followed by prominent indicators that not only show the categories but also dynamically highlight the most popular searches within each category.
The next section shows the data results pages, which are the main part of the site. Here user can learn how the census data is displayed and how to access the results.
