Introducing: An Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a built-in web interface (Software) inside a Hardware device (like a printer, Wi-Fi or scanner) that allows users to access and manage the device remotely through a standard web browser or https servers.

So HP printer has built-in EWS interface that allows users to manage and configure the printer through a web browser. It provides access to settings like Network configuration, Firmware Update, Print job status, and enabling remote management and Troubleshooting.

1. Analysis – Understanding the Problem

The first step in any project is understanding what we’re solving and who we’re solving it for.

• Existing Research Analysis

• Defining Core Problem

• User Interview Insights

• User Observation Insights

• User Challenges

• Business Impacts

2. Research - Primary Research

With a solid foundation, I moved into brainstorming solutions.

• Defining Goals

• Mind Map - Strategies

• Persona

• Empathy Map

• Hypothesis & Assumptions

3. Ideation– Building Solutions

At this stage, I transformed ideas into high-fidelity, functional designs.

• Validating Hypothesis

• Grouping & Labeling

• Understanding Notification Behaviors

• Defining Framework

• Categorization on Critical Levels.

4. Design - Interface Design

To ensure the design met user needs:

• Creating Notification Patterns

• Style Guide

• High Fidelity Wire frame

5. Feedback– Design Finalization & Handing Off

Once the design was validated, I prepared the final deliverables.

• Validating Screens

• Feedback & Iterations

• Developer Hand off

Conclusion

Conclusion: Enhancing Clarity, Empowering Action

By introducing a clear visual hierarchy and categorization system for notifications, the designed experience significantly improves users' ability to quickly interpret message severity and urgency.

This solution not only reduces cognitive load but also enhances workflow efficiency by enabling users to prioritize and respond to critical alerts without delay. Ultimately, the design fosters a more intuitive and focused user experience turning fragmented attention into confident, decisive action.

Great design isn’t just about visuals — it’s about solving problems. If you want to learn more about my process or collaborate on a project, feel free to reach out.
