Research

Research

In Sprint 1, our research focused on enhancing responsive design by analyzing the existing B2B and B2C websites' look and feel, and comparing them to competitors and industry leaders. We specifically examined design patterns and their adaptation across devices, strongly emphasizing mobile and tablet interfaces. Our research included annotating multiple websites to pinpoint key design trends and industry standards and identifying critical areas for improvement, such as layout optimization and intuitive navigation.


Top Takeaways from Analysis


Displaying Data in Containers
  • Inspired by elements in Loom.com, we found that displaying data in containers allowed each data point to be visible with supporting details, giving the information space to breathe while relaying it to the reader.

Focus on Responsive Web Design
  • Mobile and app designs differ significantly from responsive web designs, especially in navigation placement. For example, unlike apps where navigation is often at the footer, responsive designs typically use a navigation icon for mobile and tablet interfaces.

Visual Hierarchy for Core Call to Action
  • Drawing inspiration from Nike’s NRC app and Promix Nutrition, we emphasized establishing a solid visual hierarchy around core calls to action, such as the hero image’s "Start Your 7 Day Free Trial" prompts, to drive user engagement.

Ideation

Ideation

During the ideation phase, we brainstormed design ideas for mobile and tablet screens, focusing on consistent spacing and visual hierarchy. We created low-fidelity wireframes to visualize the layout and functionality, which were then reviewed by a senior designer. A key challenge was balancing spacing and text hierarchy across devices. To overcome this, we ensured the hierarchies were distinct yet consistent with the desktop version, preserving usability. These refined concepts led to the development of high-fidelity screens that effectively addressed the need for consistency across all platforms.

High-Fidelity Wireframes

During Sprint 1, we developed high-fidelity wireframes for both the B2B and B2C sections, each containing ten key areas. I was responsible for designing five sections in both B2B and B2C, focusing on ensuring consistency across tablet and mobile interfaces while enhancing user experience.
My Role in Designing the Hi-Fis
Navigation Enhancements
  • For the mobile and tablet navigation, I maintained consistency in design but identified an opportunity to improve user engagement by adding an extra CTA button. This adjustment aimed to provide a clear and accessible sign-up option, enhancing the overall conversion rate and creating a smoother user journey.


Facts Section Design
  • I designed the facts sections for both the B2B and B2C areas, emphasizing the presentation of key data points in containers. This approach allowed important information to stand out while still providing supporting details in a visually appealing and readable format. The structured layout made the data easy to digest, catering to users who wanted a quick overview and those who needed more in-depth information.


Adjustments from Mid-Fi to Hi-Fi:
  • Positioning of Elements:** One significant change I made was moving the search bar to a more prominent position at the top of the screen in the B2C section, ensuring it was easily visible and accessible. This adjustment was based on feedback that highlighted the need for improved visibility of key navigation tools.

  • Consistent Spacing and Visual Hierarchy:** In transitioning from Mid-Fi to Hi-Fi, I focused on refining the spacing and visual hierarchy, ensuring that text sizes, buttons, and interactive elements were consistent across all devices. This helped create a cohesive look and feel, which was essential for a responsive design that adapted seamlessly to different screen sizes.

  • Enhancing CTA Visibility: The addition of CTA buttons in key sections was also refined during the Hi-Fi stage. I increased their size slightly and adjusted the color contrast to make them more visually prominent, driving user actions without overwhelming the design.

Iteration

Iteration

During the iteration phase, I refined our tablet and mobile designs based on feedback and guidance from the senior designer. The goal was to ensure seamless transitions between the three screen sizes (desktop, tablet, and mobile), enhancing the overall user experience across all devices. 



Example for Navigation Revisions

Initially, I designed the navigation based on inspiration from competitor samples. After the first round of feedback, I made significant adjustments to the spacing and sizing to ensure a balanced and user-friendly layout. One critical change was adding an "X" exit button to the navigation, allowing users to close the menu easily, which improved the flow and usability.


Final Touches and Design Enhancements

In the final revision, I added bolder separation lines to distinguish different sections within the navigation, ensuring clear differentiation of content. The "X" button was also refined to align with the overall design system, enhancing the visual consistency.


How These Adjustments Served the Client/User

The navigation changes improved the user journey by making navigation more accessible and intuitive, directly addressing user feedback on usability.

  • Spacing adjustments created a visually pleasing layout that guided the user's eye effectively, enhancing the overall engagement with the content.

  • Consistency in design elements helped unify the B2B and B2C experiences while respecting their unique needs, leading to a polished final product that met client expectations.


These iterative improvements were essential in refining our designs, ensuring that every detail contributed to a fast, accurate, and successful website launch with a polished and user-friendly experience.

Reflection

Reflecting on this project, I found the experience both challenging and rewarding, particularly in the sections I owned, such as the navigation, facts section, footer, “multiple benefits of the Best in Health” section, and the Work in Culture section. I enjoyed the complexity of working across B2B and B2C segments, each with distinct goals and needs. My favorite part was designing the footers because it required balancing personalization and consistency; the B2B footer aimed to capture newsletter subscriptions, while the B2C footer focused on lead generation through a form. 

What went particularly well with the overall project was our ability to pivot when necessary. Originally, we were designing each screen from scratch, but after discussing it with the senior designer, we streamlined our approach by leveraging initial desktop elements as a basis for tablet and mobile screens. This not only saved time but also allowed us to maintain visual consistency across all devices.



Given more time or resources, I would further refine the B2B and B2C components by dedicating specific teams to each or assigning screen sizes to individual designers to ensure an even more tailored and focused approach. Additionally, expanding on areas like adding more prominent CTAs or enhancing certain elements like the benefits sections would provide additional value, driving better results in terms of user engagement and conversion rates.

Overall, this project solidified my understanding of balancing creativity with strategic decision-making and the importance of adaptability in the design process. Moving forward, I plan to implement more thorough initial planning and developer check-ins to better anticipate constraints and streamline execution.
