For Fun: Amber the Dog
Website for dog information in case they get lost, connected to a QR code dog tag.
Client Name: Pet Owner, Chelsea Boccardo (self!)
Purpose: Pet information connected to dog tag
Project Case:
Year after year, move after move, Chelsea was constantly ordering new dog tags for her furry best friend, Amber. One day in her web design research, she stumbled upon a large company offering QR code dog tags that brought you to a simple profile page for your pet's family's information. She thought - I can do this better...
Website Goals and Objectives:
Link QR code on dog tag to a website that can be easily updated, removing the need to order new dog tags all of the time.
Provide stranger's reassurance on the dog's health, personality, and needs in the event they get lost.
Challenges and Solutions:
Dog websites are not very typical... How do you design one? Aside from a lot of cute pictures to choose from, Chelsea decided to have 4 main sections on the landing page. First would come some quick information with the dog's name, breed, age, and caregiver's information. Second, she added a quick and heartwarming story about adopting Amber and a few things she likes and dislikes. Most importantly, came the "Help!" section which included instructions on what to do if the dog is found by a stranger. Lastly, the photo gallery was loaded to provide confirmation that Amber was a sweet, good-natured dog, and what the owner looks like for retrieval if needed. The last step was to publish the site and then use the URL to create a QR code in Canva. This QR code was then loaded to a dog tag making site to be printed and hung around her neck.
