After card sorting, sitemap and user flows, finally, I moved on to the design portion of the project. AThe first stage of the designing aspect was to sketch out the layout. I went back to personas and empathy map before sketching out my layouts. I started seeing how vital Persona and Empathy map is this project. It helped to plan my layout and I started sketching my layouts.

Sketching really helped me to focus on the layout without getting caught up in visual aspects such as colors, images, etc. Sketching was incredibly helpful. It helped with ideating my website layouts. After my layouts were approved, I started the creating my wireframes using Sketchapp.
