Overview

Maximize opportunities for new business by empowering potential clients to learn about Minerva and its services through a responsive, professional, and engaging website.

The Problem

The Outcome/Impact

The Outcome/Impact

The information presented on the site was overwhelming and difficult to comprehend. The sub-optimal mobile viewing experience made Minerva lose credibility upon first impression.

The Outcome/Impact

The Outcome/Impact

The Outcome/Impact

Within three months of redesign, users have engaged with the site on average at least 30 seconds longer, new users have grown by a factor of 2.6, and mobile engagement has expanded from 15% to 36%.

The poor mobile experience and text-heavy web design with minimal interactions negatively impact user engagement and reduce client trust.

Mapping the Flow

To design site's information architecture, we had to understand the actions users take when they discover, research, and engage services like Minerva's. Focusing on the emotions users feel throughout the process helped us identify opportunities to craft an enjoyable experience.

User Journey Map

The organizational leader needs to quickly see Minerva is a good fit and get in touch effortlessly

Research Takeaways

  • The user may delegate the research to someone else, so plain language is a must.
  • Users are weary of sharing too much information. Request the bare minimum in forms.
  • Reduce anxiety after submitting a contact form by communicating a response timeline.
  • Increase credibility and trust by displaying testimonials. Independent sources are best.

Clear affordances for interactive elements are necessary for future prototype iterations. Users weren't always sure what to tap/click.

Prototyping & Testing

Mid-Fidelity Mobile PrototypeMid-Fidelity Web Prototype

Why Test with Prototypes?

Testing design ideas through quick prototypes allowed us to easily validate or reject concepts without wasting valuable time and effort.

The Mid-Fidelity prototype helped us learn that users want the option to be contacted by SMS communications, something we did not think of initially.

Through High-Fidelity prototype testing, we were able to finalize the look and feel of the site with real potential clients for Minerva.

Developing the Final Product

We updated the client's existing WordPress site to match our prototype designs as closely as possible.

Fully Responsive website

Minerva's website features engaging interactive elements that look great on any device.
