This study aims to provide UI design patterns related to accessibility and navigation to South Korean designers who intend to produce designs for French expatriates. We compare and evaluate the accessibility and navigation of French and South Korean UI design patterns, and we propose three sample designs: French, Korean, and Global UI Design. These samples are compared based on the Morville honeycomb model and tested via tasks and surveys. French participants perform tasks such as searching for jobs, applying for part-time jobs, and managing resumes. The results of surveys and interviews reveal that French participants prefer designs with a single interface, categorization and sub-menus, illustrations and icons, a homepage with suggestions, and cheerful colors. The results of this study show that understanding how French cultural preference influences UI design is essential for creating user-friendly interfaces for French expatriates in South Korea.
