Skills/Tools:

Time Frame:
3 weeks.
Deliverables:
Research (including videos of user interviews), clickable prototype of three sale pages, and new concept of global navigation.

PROCESS
We gathered qualitative data by testing users (using QuickTime) within the target demographic and observing how they interacted with the old StackSocial product pages. Below are a few notes.
STRATEGY
We took this data, looked into competing flash sale sites, and began to map out initial ideas.
DESIGN / TEST / ITeratE
We started with sketching on paper and moved into rapid lo-fi prototyping using Balsamiq. We used Axure to create clickable prototype that we could test. Using 10 subjects we did both in person tests and utilized UserTesting platform to understand how people were interacting with our design. We made a few tweaks and built the final design in Illustrator.
