RESEARCH
Competitive Analysis | Card Sorting | Hierarchy Chart | User Personas
Discovered Insights
1. Improve the accessibility and discoverability of new/existing features.
2. Prioritize significant app features by categorizing items into sections to create uniform hierarchy.
3. Design an adaptable and scalable experience, accommodating the varying features of different properties based on location.

DESIGN
Design System | Wireframes | Prototypes
Solutions
The objective was to tackle the discovered insights through design exploration. To ensure consistency and reinforce a user-centered approach in the development process, a design system was established. The UX design team shared wireframes and designed high-fidelity prototypes to illustrate the user's journey. These design concepts were then reviewed with the Product team to gather input, marking the start of user testing with actual users.
TEST
Usability Test | A/B Test | Accessibility
Usability & A/B Testing
We conducted three rounds of user testing, each encompassing 10 distinct tasks, featuring various touchpoint layouts to optimize the discoverability of features on the home tab. 45 responses were collected and the results provided data on how users navigated through the prototypes and helped with validating each of the designs.
The usability score thresholds used to measure the usability score were:
High: 80-100
Medium: 50-80
Low: 0-50
The age group for the testers were:
35-50: 30 testers
50-60: 15 testers
User Testing Results
The usability scores collected measured the design's usability based on key performance indicators: success, bounce, duration, and misclicks. The score reflects how intuitive and efficient it is for a user to perform a given task within the prototype.
Test #1: 83
Test #2: 84
Test #3: 80
Accessibility Audit
An accessibility audit was performed to guarantee the product's accessibility, compliance, and inclusivity. This audit involved the utilization of integrated tools such as Contrast Checker, Touch Targets, Alt-Text Annotations, Typography, and additional resources.
