Site Audit + Design System Creation
Using Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics, I examined what content interested One Down’s site viewers based on trending pages, page duration, and exit rate. Despite the continuous growth in editorials and social media platforms, web traffic would flux between 3-4K monthly viewers. In addition, I cross-referenced the session trends based on potential traffic from Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.
In this redesign, I re-examined the user journey because the site was still disconnected from social. More than 70% of traffic was coming from people clicking on Facebook and Instagram content. Once they’ve finished reading that article or a few others, how can the site convert more subscribers to the other platforms?
