Breaking down the design process
quantitive research
Conducted desktop research to understand the sector and how it challenges industry norms. Findings highlighted the benefits SMEs experience using virtual assistants and revealed increased advantages for larger companies.

Competitive audit
Analysed competitors to identify opportunities and integrate them into the design. The audit considered website comparisons and branding integration throughout the product.
PERSONAs

Information Architecture
Following a top-down approach, the site map illustrates the user journey from interest to subscription. The product aims to attract users to subscribe or enquire through call-to-action points, with additional information designed to convert sales.
Wireframing
Initial sketches secured stakeholder feedback and client buy-in, focusing on integrating brand identity and creating a strong user experience. The design progressed into low-fidelity prototypes to understand user flow and connections between supporting elements and the primary flow.

Research Overview
Conducted two remote unmoderated usability studies. Users completed prompts to identify pain points and test the primary user flow. Effectiveness was measured by completion rates and times. The first study used a low-fidelity prototype; the second focused on specific CTA engagement with a high-fidelity prototype.
Insight 1
Participants responded positively to layout and navigation but identified areas for improvement in feedback response and interactions.
Insight 2
Users desired more opportunities to return to the order process, especially on secondary pages, indicating a need for navigation improvements, particularly on mobile.
Insight 3
Feedback suggested the UI should be more engaging to capture attention. While stronger than competitors, the brand identity should stand out further.

Increased user testing led to a refined product, understanding current and future target audiences, and future-proofing the design.
Insight 3
Expanded beyond website development to include full branding, observing how branding and design inform each other and challenging myself creatively.
