How I got here?
Figuring it out as I go, One sprint at a time, but here is my design process.
First thing - Internal Usability Tests
Usability testing and only internal team validation process was used here. I did not ask any user any questions. I repeat I did not ask any users any questions.
Reimagining The Sitemap
Sitemap!! Optimizing the sitemap for an easier navigation throughout the website. While focusing on conversion, I also doubled down on the lean UX principles to remove unnecessary design artifacts.
Interface & Content Layout - Spoiler alert! First attempt did not work
First layout testing did not go as planned. Some mistakes were made
Take 2
Second attempt to find the perfect layout which is tested on the root level.
