‍ FileJet’s existing system was plagued with busy interfaces, limited search and filtration options, poor visual hierarchy, and a lack of notification systems. Additionally, the onboarding flow was nearly nonexistent, creating a barrier to user adoption. My role was to lead the team through a comprehensive research and ideation phase to uncover these pain points and prioritize them for redesign.

‍ We conducted in-depth user interviews and testing to understand the true pain points of existing users. The research revealed significant issues, including confusing data interpretation and unintuitive navigation. With these insights, we focused on creating a more intelligent navigation architecture, improving visual hierarchy, and developing a seamless onboarding process that would gently guide users from the marketing site to the web-based application.

‍ Following an intense wireframing phase, we transitioned to high-fidelity prototyping. Each iteration was rigorously tested to validate our hypotheses and ensure the updated design met user needs. The new interface featured streamlined navigation, clear visual hierarchy, and enhanced search and filtration capabilities, all designed to improve user satisfaction and efficiency.

‍ I worked closely with various departments within FileJet to secure universal approval for the new designs. Once approved, we handed off the project to the contracted offshore development team, whom we supported through the QA process to ensure a smooth launch.

‍ The redesigned platform received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with significant improvements in key performance indicators (KPIs) over a four-month period. User adoption increased by 35%, driven largely by the new onboarding flow, which reduced drop-off rates by 40%.

Additionally, user satisfaction scores improved by 25%, and the streamlined interface led to a 30% increase in task completion rates. The founder’s positive feedback affirmed that the final product aligned strongly with FileJet’s vision and growth goals.

The FileJet redesign successfully addressed the platform’s usability issues, resulting in increased user adoption and improved KPIs. The project demonstrated the power of user-centered design in driving business growth. The stakeholders and founder expressed gratitude for the collaborative approach and the clear direction provided throughout the process, noting that it played a key role in the project’s success.

The positive reception from both users and the founder highlighted the effectiveness of our efforts and laid a strong foundation for future growth.
