TEST

Usability Testing

We conducted usability testing with both our wireframes and high fidelity designs. We ran moderated and unmoderated tests to determine the ease of use and clarity of the designs.

Test Finding

The compare feature as a separate page is hurting the conversion. By moving users away from the product detail page, they are less likely to move the item into the cart.

Solution

Create a compare feature as an overlay instead of a separate page. This keeps the shopper from clicking away from the product page and they are more likely to move the item to their cart.

Test Finding

The language and structure of the homepage wireframe indicates that Veló is an esteemed bicycle brand, not a curated bike retailer.

Solution

Change the langugage and product highlights in the homepage to reflect the brands identity and product offerings. Help reinforce why Velo is a trusted bike retailer.

DESIGN

Style Guide

The goal was to have the website reflect the brand's personaity, which is: Savy, Focused, Serious, and Dependable. The design style would need to reflect those charactistics. I chose black and white to maintain that focused look and feel, and allow the bike designs to be the visual focal point.
