About the Project

Timeline Oct-Nov 2022
Platform Redesigning an Old website
My Role Product Designer

Introduction

Flash Sites is one of the leading cyber security companies in Europe they help other businesses to secure their website from various cyber security attacks and also enhance their website performance. For the new website design, I set out to solve the problems below within 1.5 months. The results were amazing.

My Role

I led the design, user testing, and development of this project from end to end. I collaborated with stakeholders of this project throughout the entire project to arrive at some solution.

Problem

The company was concerned that its existing website was outdated and lacked modern features, and they were also worried about losing sales due to the poor user experience of its old website.

Objectives

Our objectives for the website redesign were to:

Enhance Website Performance

Improve website performance to enhance user experience and reduce bounce rate.

Redesign with Purpose

Update the website design to provide a modern, professional look that reflects the company's branding.

Increase Engagement

Increase engagement and conversions through effective call-to-actions (CTAs) and user journey optimization.

User-Centric Design

Provide an optimized user experience across all devices.

Impact

Hooray, we launched the landing page in November 2022! For confidentiality reasons, I have omitted the actual values for these metrics.

The moment it goes live, we immediately saw a 20% increase in conversions to our website as compared to the old website.
The bounce-back rate decreased to 35%.

Design Approach

We started with a thorough analysis of the existing website to identify potential issues with the user experience of the old website. We identified a range of issues, including slow page loading times, outdated insufficient user flows, and inefficient navigation.

Then instead of jumping onto the actual design, we discover some of the existing platforms to study them and analyze their user flows.

Based on our findings, we decided to redesign the website from scratch. We created a modern and sleek design that reflected the company's brand identity while ensuring a user-centric design approach.

Final Design

Before and After (Homepage)

Before the redesign, there was a lack of focus on what Flashsites offers. The website was cluttered. The design language was inconsistent.
