UX Makeover: Website Redesign

Course project: Interactive Information Design

People often need help with moving, but finding a reliable company can be challenging. Word of mouth has its limits, making an online presence essential for thoroughly evaluating a company. It's crucial for moving companies to enhance their websites by clearly showcasing services and testimonials.

Our focus was to improve user experience and build trust by highlighting the company’s services and years of expertise.

Problem Statement

The company website struggled with an overload of unorganized and unprioritized information across pages. The content hierarchy needed adjustments to emphasize essential details and better categorize content. This lack of structure made it difficult for users to navigate, potentially causing loss of interest.

Solution
We optimized the homepage layout, improved content hierarchy, and introduced clearer navigation to enhance user engagement and ensure easy access to critical information.

Sketches, Low & High fidelity Wireframes

After outlining the website structure, I sketched and illustrated the design to capture the envisioned look and feel. The focus was on enhancing user experience while preserving the brand's essence and maintaining continuity with the original design.

Keeping these sketches in mind, I started illustrating some low fidelity wireframes on Figma. These designs focus on structure and functionality without delving into intricate details.

These wireframes act as cost-effective way to outline the layout and elements of a webpage or application.

Low Fidelity Desktop wireframes

Here are the low-fidelity wireframes for each page, design changes and their rationale are outlined at the top of each wireframe for clarity and improvement.

Home page

The initial homepage wireframes featured full-width text detailing services. I redesigned it to present information more visually and categorize it clearly, making it easier for users to understand the company's offerings.

Mobile

Desktop

Service page

The goal was to streamline service information. The original text-heavy page was reorganized with icons and illustrations for a more concise and visually appealing layout.

Desktop

Mobile

Prices page

The page aimed to categorize services and display prices efficiently. It featured a calendar showing moving rates and fees, with a table detailing costs for each rate.

Mobile

Desktop

About page

The original website had two pages with overlapping content. These pages were combined, and the content hierarchy was adjusted to place the most crucial information at the top.

Desktop

Mobile

Reviews page

The original website lacked a reviews page and had important, hard-to-find content on internal pages. This new page consolidates essential information, including cancellation policies, late fees, date changes, company policies, and general FAQs.

Mobile

Desktop

Contact page

The original website lacked a contact page. In the redesign, we added a contact page to facilitate customer inquiries and provide easy access to company contact details.

Desktop

Mobile

Visual Style Guide

To create the high-fidelity wireframes, we developed a visual style guide detailing logo usage, color palette, typography, and layout.

This guide ensures brand consistency and a unified identity. We retained the brand's color palette of blue and orange and selected fonts based on our target audience's preferences for an engaging user experience.
