How This Project Started

Project Objective
Stakeholders requested our team to redesign Spigen's video guideline website as the product categories expanded and the site needed a new structure to accommodate newly added product videos. Our objective was to revamp the website with clear categorization and a user-friendly interface.

Understanding User Pain Points

Usability Testing
We invited five users for usability testing and asked them to show us how they would find a guideline for installing a glass protector for an iPhone.

Tasks

Activity #1A: Using the provided product package, find out how to install it on iPhone 13.

Activity #1B: Use the install.spigen.com website to look up the guide video.

key takeaways

Three out of five participants had difficulty finding the way to get to the video guideline website. The QR code paper insert that leads to the website is not noticeable. I learned that both the website and the presentation of the QR code need improvement.
Inside the category page, participants were confused about which video was the right one due to the absence of compatible product indications and the similarity in thumbnail images.

Design Solutions & Theories

Solution for Each Problem
Here are the solutions I developed for each problem identified through user research, based on Jakob's Ten Usability Heuristics and principles of human psychology.

It’s unclear where to click to find what users need.

Solution

Intuitive and simplified categories.

as-is

Too many separate category pages without clear visual cues of related categories can cause confusion as the product line expands.

to-be

Grouped categories into larger sections with intuitive images and added borders around each category button for clarity.

Applied theories

Gestalt Principles - Law of Proximity
The indication of categories was weak and not intuitive. I applied clear borders for each category to strengthen the similarity among grouped objects.

Requires a high memory load from users.

Solution

Clear indicators for the current location.

as-is

Lack of a category header on a category page forces users to remember their previous selection, causing inconvenience.

Highlight the change
Breadcrumb navigation on each page clearly shows users their current location and allows quick access to previous pages.

Applied theories

Visibility of System Status
Designs should keep users informed about what is happening and where they are. I added breadcrumb navigation to indicate to users where they are and allow them to go back to the specific hierarchy of pages.

Poor readability and visibility.

Solution 1

Improved mobile readability.

as-is

to-be

Applied theories

Fitts's Law
To minimize time it takes for user to select a thumbnail, I increased text and image sizes and enhanced mobile experience.

Solution 2

Enhanced visibility of search box.

as-is

to-be

Applied theories

Gestalt Principles - Principle of Figure-Ground
The white search box blended into the white background, making it hard to see. Added a dark banner behind the search box to increase contrast.

Validating Design Effectiveness

Usability Testing
After the design update, we tested its effectiveness on three participants by asking them to perform the same activities we tested before the revamp for a clear comparison.
Recording of One of the Participants

result and insights

The average time spent searching for video guidelines was reduced by 15%.
40% of participants tapped 'accessory' instead of 'phone.' 'Accessory' is too vague and misleading users; the title needs revision.

Takeaway

During this project, I learned the following lessons:

Importance of offering diverse approaches to user goals:
I noticed that users take different paths to find a guideline video. Some use search engines, while others click on thumbnail images. It's crucial to consider users' preferences and ensure that all approaches are effective.
Equal importance of offline experience:
While revamping the website, I recognized that the offline experience was equally significant – many users find the site through QR codes on packaging. With this in mind, I suggested revisions to the packaging design to make the QR code more discoverable, which stakeholders agreed to consider. An intuitive user experience is crucial both before and after interacting with the site.
