Product Design: EthiFinance website
DESCRIPTION
The existing EthiFinance website failed to meet user & team expectations and posed challenges in terms of maintenance and updating. Our goal was to create a modern, user-friendly platform that accurately represents EthiFinance’s identity and values while addressing the shortcomings of the previous site.
As the Product Designer and Manager, I played a pivotal role in driving the development of EthiFinance’s new website. Tasked with overseeing the strategy, the design and implementation process, I took charge of ensuring that the project aligned with the organization’s objectives and met user needs effectively.
- Research and Analysis
- Conducted a comprehensive questionnaire distributed across the company to gather feedback on the existing website.
- Utilized usability tests, including the System Usability Scale (SUS), to evaluate the user experience of our site and competitors’ platforms.
- Conducted and analyzed a card sorting test (Maze) to optimize the site’s navigation and information architecture.
- Collaboration and Team Dynamics
- Facilitated workshops with key stakeholders (Inception Workshop), including members of the executive committee, to define the project scope and requirements.
- Led the search for a development agency, negotiated budgets, finalized specifications, and served as the primary point of contact for all project-related matters.
- Design and Prototyping
- Designed wireframes and all prototypes for the website, ensuring a cohesive and user-friendly interface.
- Worked closely with the development agency to ensure seamless integration of design elements into the final product, facilitating a fluid delivery process.
- Technical Implementation
- Selected the WordPress CMS platform for its flexibility and ease of use, ensuring future modifications can be implemented seamlessly.
- Worked closely with the development agency to ensure that the technical aspects of the website aligned with our design and user experience goals.
- Defined the necessary functionalities for future marketing optimizations of our processes
- Measurable Impact
While the website is not yet live due to internal reorganization, we anticipate significant improvements in user satisfaction, streamlined content management processes, and a more polished online presence for EthiFinance upon launch.
In conclusion, my involvement in the creation of EthiFinance’s new website is extensive, encompassing strategic planning, meticulous design, and effective collaboration. I am confident that the new website will be a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional user experiences and reinforcing EthiFinance’s position in the digital landscape.
