Understanding "Why" redesigning was required
In order to understand the motive behind redesigning the site, initial stages involved conversations with the Business Unit Head and Brand Director. I tried to gain insights about the business and their growth journey so that I can incorporate them into my designs. The following questions enabled me to recognize the reasons behind redesigning:
​
-
Why redesign the website?​
-
How has the user engagement with the current website been?
-
How do you envision the site to look and feel like?
-
Which features do we want to include in the new website?
-
Do we plan to introduce new services?
User Interview
Interviewing the users utilizing the digital marketing services was essential for understanding usability and goal(to view and avail the services provided) achievement.
