Research

Problem Statement

The legacy homepage presented multiple usability and structural issues that hindered user engagement and conversion. It lacked clear navigation paths for different user groups and failed to effectively communicate the platform's value proposition and hindered user onboarding and engagement.

Key Challenges

  • Unclear CTAs and redundant navigation
  • Poor visual hierarchy and crowded layouts
  • Lack of user segmentation
  • Weak value proposition
  • Inconsistent branding
  • Low accessibility compliance
  • Navigation confusion
  • Repetitive content pathways
  • Limited customer support visibility
  • Weak mobile responsiveness

As a result, users struggled to identify next steps, locate relevant information, and complete key actions such as applying as a driver or contacting support.

Heuristic Evaluation

I conducted a full-page audit of the homepage and supporting pages, documenting usability issues related to:

  • Navigation clarity
  • Content structure
  • Visual hierarchy
  • Accessibility

  • Conversion-Focused Layouts
  • User Segmentation
  • Accessibility Compliance
  • Brand Consistency
  • Scalable System Design

Information Architecture Redesign

I reorganized the homepage around the three primary user paths the client identified:

  • Customer/Client Services
  • Driver Application and Onboarding
  • Contact Support

This structure ensured immediate routing for all major user groups.

Redundant navigation elements were removed, and content hierarchy was simplified.

Wireframing

Low-fidelity wireframes were created manually to establish:

  • Page structure
  • Content prioritization
  • CTA placement (including dual primary CTAs)
  • Navigation flow
  • Mobile responsiveness

Wireframes focused on layout and interaction before visual styling.

Analysis

Hero Section

One of the key usability issues identified during the initial website audit was the lack of a clear value proposition in the homepage hero section. The existing headline, “making delivery easier for everyone,” was overly broad and did not effectively communicate the company’s core services or target audience. Because the homepage serves as the primary entry point for prospective customers, drivers, and partners, the hero messaging needed to quickly establish credibility while clearly explaining what the company offers. To address this, I redesigned the hero section to focus on a stronger, customer-oriented value proposition centered around reliability, professionalism, and business logistics. The revised messaging emphasizes dependable delivery services while clearly communicating the company’s role as a logistics partner for businesses and customers. In addition to updating the headline, a supporting subheadline was introduced to provide immediate context about the company’s delivery network and services. This two-layer messaging structure improves clarity, strengthens brand positioning, and helps new visitors quickly understand the company’s offerings. The redesigned hero also supports clearer user pathways through dual primary calls-to-action, allowing potential customers to learn more about services while enabling drivers to access onboarding and application features more efficiently. This update improves both the clarity and effectiveness of the homepage by aligning the messaging with the needs of prospective customers and the company’s long-term growth goals.

Navigation Redesign

The original navigation system contained redundant links and multiple calls-to-action leading to the same destinations, which created confusion and reduced usability. I simplified the navigation by restructuring menu items and removing unnecessary duplication. Clear, distinct pathways were established for key actions such as exploring services, applying as a driver, and tracking packages. Additionally, dual primary CTAs were strategically placed within the navigation bar to improve visibility and accessibility. This redesign enhances clarity, reduces user friction, and supports more efficient navigation across the platform.

User Segmentation

One of the most critical usability issues was the lack of clear user segmentation. Drivers, prospective applicants, and customers were all presented with the same content and navigation pathways, leading to confusion and inefficient user journeys. To resolve this, I restructured the homepage to clearly separate primary user paths, specifically for drivers and customers. Dedicated entry points and CTAs were introduced to guide users toward relevant actions such as applying to drive or accessing delivery services. This approach reduced cognitive load, improved navigation clarity, and ensured that each user group could quickly identify the information most relevant to their needs.

Services Overview

The original homepage included duplicated and overly dense service content that repeated information found on other pages. This redundancy contributed to poor content hierarchy and reduced overall usability. I redesigned the services section using a concise, card-based layout that highlights key offerings without overwhelming the user. Each service is presented with a clear label and supporting description, allowing users to quickly scan and understand available solutions. This streamlined approach improves readability, eliminates duplication, and encourages users to explore service-specific pages when needed.

Driver Recruitment Section

Driver onboarding is a core business function, yet the original homepage did not effectively prioritize or highlight this user group. As a result, potential drivers lacked a clear and compelling pathway to apply. To address this, I introduced a dedicated driver-focused section that clearly communicates the benefits of joining the platform, such as flexibility, support, and earning opportunities. This section includes a prominent call-to-action to initiate the application process. By elevating driver recruitment within the homepage, the redesign aligns more closely with business goals and improves conversion potential for onboarding new drivers.

Testimonials & Trust Signals

The original homepage lacked trust-building elements, such as testimonials or performance indicators, which are especially important in logistics and delivery services where reliability is critical. To strengthen credibility, I incorporated a testimonials and trust signals section highlighting user experiences and key performance metrics. This provides social proof and reassures potential customers of the company’s reliability and professionalism. Introducing these elements enhances user confidence and supports more informed decision-making.

Support & Contact Access

Access to customer support was limited and not clearly visible in the original design, with key contact options either missing or difficult to locate. This created unnecessary friction for users seeking assistance. I redesigned the support section to centralize all contact options, including phone, email, and a dedicated contact page. Clear calls-to-action were added to ensure users can quickly reach support when needed. And a frewquently asked questions (FAQ) section was added to provide immediate answers to common inquiries. This improvement enhances usability, reduces frustration, and ensures users can easily access help throughout their journey.

Footer Redesign

The original footer lacked structure and visual consistency, making it difficult for users to locate important links and information. Additionally, it did not align well with the overall branding of the site. I redesigned the footer using a structured, multi-column layout that organizes navigation links, driver resources, and contact information into clearly defined sections. The visual design was also updated to align with the platform’s branding system. This results in improved usability, better information discoverability, and a more cohesive overall user experience.

Design Evolution
