Web FIT
Čepa, Marián ; Kajan, Rudolf (referee) ; Beran, Vítězslav (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to redesign the website of the Faculty of Information Technology (BUT) on the basis of analysis and user testing of the current website. The theoretical part deals with the iterative development of user interfaces, user-centered design and basics of the user experience design. The work also deals with possibilities of analysing and user testing of the user interfaces. The main part of the thesis consists of analysis and user testing of the current website and then designing the new one based on user research and regular user testing.

Semiotic Engineering and rules for interaction design
Prokop, Pavel ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Slavíček, Daniel (referee)
Semiotic Engineering is one of semiotic approaches to human-computer interaction problematics. Its theory is based on a simple notion of interface beeing a designers deputy through which the designer comunicates with users of this interface. Telling them, how to work with a program, he or she designed for them. Apart from teoretical foundation, semiotic engineering dispose also with research methods that can be used to evaluate a way an interface communicates with its users. This way it can compare with other non-semitic theories in this branch of research and thanks to its orientation to communication, it is even able to bring new points o wiev. Its theory and methods are used in this thesis as a basis for creation of a set of rules for user interface designers, that shoul serve them as guidelines for their thinking about interface. It turns out that semiotic theory is capable of bringing concerete results for praxis in the area of interaction design and it is not bound only to the academic enviroment.

Theory of contemporary web design and its application to development of responsive websites
Ferenc, Jakub ; Procházka, Josef (advisor) ; Fuglík, Viktor (referee)
By theoretical analysis we regard web design as a digital, design field, which is inherently creative. That is why we analyse it on the background of research in creativity, design and new media. We demystify the romantic view on creativity; analyse the componential, evolutionary and other views on creativity; find out that expertise and context are important for creativity. By analysis of theories of design we discard the perception of a designer as a "decorator"; define design as solving "wicked" problems and as a distinct type of thinking which is suitable for integrating art and technology as well as for innovations in the postindustrial society. We also analyse the relation between design and the user. We discuss code as "material" for web design. After the historical analysis of the evolution of Web we define an "axiomatic system" whereby we analyse Web. The axioms are: Web as a technological platform; Web as a new medium; Web as interface, consisting of code and the human side which exist in the broader sociocultural context; Web as interaction design; Web as a work existing and changing according to the immediate (spatiotemporal) context of use. With the analysis and axioms we elucidate why the current web design is responsive, "mobile first" and what role the mobile context...

Creating a user-friendly website (UX)
Knopp, Filip ; Borovcová, Anna (advisor) ; Buchalcevová, Alena (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the process of creating user-friendly websites. Thesis is not directly engaged with questions concerning the technology behind it, but instead focuses on the process of designing a website that will meet both the needs of users as well as business requirements. A website based and designed on such concept will be easily understandable for users, and will be regarded as usable and useful. It will effectively enable users to fulfill their individual aims and provide them with a positive User Experience (UX). Along with the placing of this procedure within a specific context, an area of User Experience is defined, and consequently related disciplines that fundamentally affect and shape the UX. A scheme of this procedure of creating user-friendly websites as put in practice is shown at the end of this thesis: a case study on redesigning the company website VINICARS Ltd.
