🐱‍🏍 Prototype

I started making pencil sketches on paper to get a rough idea about the flow of the website.

Low fidelity Design

I used Adobe XD to convert the pencil sketches into low fidelity design. After completing the low fidelity design, I passed the design for approval and with the mentioned comments I moved to the high fidelity design.

Visual Aspects

Before starting the High fidelity system, I started to create a Design System. This Design System will have Primary, Secondary and other Brand colors to be used on the website. This Design system will also contain the details about Typography which includes the font family details, the font weights to be used.

🧪 Test

I’ve tested the website internally within the team and collected the feedback. After the internal testing, the site is made live for public usage and used Hotjar to collect user feedback.

🎉 Conclusion

After the revamp we used Google Analytics and Hotjar to check the outcomes. After the revamp we could see noticeable changes in the user engagement time which is increased by a margin of 16% and the quality scores for the landing pages is also increased. With the Hotjar Analytics, we could see the page scroll percentage is also increased.

Design Thinking is a continuous process. These steps will be repeated from time to time with the data and feedback collected from these tools to provide the users with the quality of content and better usability.
