Desktop customer's dashboard

The customer's desktop experience redesign emerged from the mobile strategy and web mobile redesign.

Role

Led a redesign process in close collaboration with product managers, UX writers, analysts, and engineers. Alongside with 4 other designers worked on establishing a shared design system.

Year

2023

Problem

The desktop experience hasn't changed since 2012, had a lot of usability issues, and was implemented using outdated technologies. It all resulted in a negative impact on the users and the businesses.

By that moment we had already launched and proven the success of the new web mobile experience. We wanted to be lean, so the idea was to adjust the new mobile experience to the desktop by reusing the same patterns and components.

Redesign approach

So, the general idea for the desktop dashboard redesign was to make the layout as flexible as possible. We decided to make the layout modular by breaking it into separate blocks. In the future, that would allow us to introduce and test any new ideas much faster and without changing the whole layout.

Modular design approach

User testing sessions and some user’s feedbacks

My questions

"My questions" section is divided into two parts: active questions and past questions. Active questions are always visible at the top section and past questions are hidden under the expandable section.

Question cards

Question cards provide users with all the information related to their questions like time, category, expert assigned, and status. Also, users can rate or favorite the expert right from the card

Benefits

Benefits are always included in the user's membership and need to be activated if a user would like to start using them. We designed 3 states for the Benefits card: Not active state, Activating, and Activated.

My favorites

Users can add any expert to their favorites and have quick access to them to ask a new question. If a user still has no favorite experts he will see an empty state

Responsive design

The desktop layout is fully responsive and is adjusted to the tablet and mobile views.

Design system

The whole redesign process also included establishing a shared design system and building reusable components across desktop and mobile views

Results

We ran an experiment (50/50) for about 2 months and observed a +2% lift in LTV35 and -2,73% in a refund rate.

Refund rates

The results were not as promising as we expected but given the fact that main metrics went slightly up, we decided to normalize the new desktop experience for all users. That also allowed us to provide a consistent experience for both desktop and mobile users.
