The primary goal for this research and design project was to enhance user engagement and conversion rates while delivering a visually appealing and intuitive interface. Through extensive user research, iterative design, and usability testing, I successfully revamped the website, resulting in a 41% increase in user engagement and a 36% boost in qualified leads.

The process began with meeting with the marketing department to gain a comprehensive understanding of the company goals.
I hosted a Miro session with the marketing team and users to identify current pain points being faced with the current website flow, aesthetics, and functionality.
I then determined that conducting user interviews, performing a market analysis would be the most effective methods for initial research.
I also analyzed user behavior data from the existing website helped to identify needs, and preferences. I connected with the social media manager to gather quantitative insights on the original site.
After synthesizing all of my research, I was confident I had identified key challenges being faced.
Through three card-sorting sessions, I was able to gain invaluable insights into user preferences and behaviors, informing website structure and content strategy.
As a result, I optimized user engagement, leading to a more user-friendly website, improved customer satisfaction, and increased conversions.
During a comparative analysis for an agent or sales rep locator tools on similar websites, I found State Farm’s Agent Tool particularly noteworthy for its ease of use and simplicity. Inspired by its effective design, I pinned this concept, possibly incorporating certain aspects of the tool into my own.
After joining the project post the UX team’s user research and wireframing phases, I seamlessly integrated into the design process. Leveraging their insights, I refined the wireframes into visually compelling UI designs while ensuring alignment with the company’s brand identity and user expectations.
My wireframing process involved a comprehensive analysis of the incumbent website’s layout and content. Subsequently, I meticulously crafted wireframes that preserved the site’s most efficacious components while introducing refinements in a visually streamlined manner.
These low-fidelity mockups underwent iterative refinement cycles, informed by invaluable user feedback, aligning the design harmoniously with the company’s strategic objectives and catering precisely to the nuanced preferences of the end-users.
During the usability testing phase, I initiated the process by carefully curating a group of representative users drawn from our core demographic. I then meticulously crafted realistic scenarios that closely emulated typical user interactions with both the ‘Local Rep Search’ functionality and the broader website interface.

Conducting guided testing sessions, I closely observed and documented users’ interactions, collecting their feedback, and identifying pain points and areas for improvement. This data-driven approach provided a solid foundation for iterative refinement, a process through which the design and functionality were continually honed to optimally align with user needs and expectations. This phase sets the stage for a detailed elaboration of the wireframes

The culmination of this project marked a resounding success. In the web design refresh, we accomplished the creation of a modern, user-centric website that proficiently conveyed the essence of the company’s brand. Simultaneously, it delivered an intuitive and highly accessible online experience, leading to a notable enhancement in user engagement and a substantial upswing in conversion rates.
The implementation of the ‘Find Your Rep’ functionality not only streamlined users’ capacity to connect with their local representatives but also yielded a substantial surge in user engagement and satisfaction. I firmly believe that my methodological process and execution serve as a testament to my unwavering dedication to user-centered design, successfully bridging the gap between business objectives and the discerning needs of our users
