Challenge
Creating a Personal Experience and High Conversion Rate for a New Brand Launch (spoiler alert: we did good.) Our client brought a fan-freakin’-tastic idea to the table, a financial comparison website with a personalised touch. We put our heads together, mashed up our knowledge and turned their dream into a reality. Iterate worked closely with Klyp’s truly impressive Creative & Development teams to create a website that is not just handsome, but delivers on UX & CRO. Here’s what one of our favourite clients wanted us to do: Map out the entire user journey and information architecture across the website Develop UX wireframes based on user research CRO principles – no assumptions (Ass, You, Me, you know the saying.) Create a no BS, clean and simple interface across a number of different services and tools Integrate the on-page messaging with the Klyp Marketing team to improve the conversion rate from the initial touch point & deliver results like it’s our due date Discover more about their audience and key demographics Optimise their website for SEO to go up against larger competitors who have been in the market for years to show them there’s a new sheriff in town
Solution
Little bit of Discovery and Research Planning out the website functionality was our first task. After many a workshop we pinned down the process and user journey from start to finish, across every service offering and tool on the website. A true mic-drop moment. But… We needed answers. We had the questions but the answers to the questions were yet to be had. So we enlisted a bunch of anonymous survey-doers for user-research to provide the answers to said questions. We used this information to develop some background information around our customers, who they are and what they want. We learnt about their values, when they would research certain financial services, and which ones they’d likely convert on. It’s safe to say we got our answers, and more questions. But answers mostly. Every action going forward was based on baby’s first words, data. Then it's time for UX Design & FUNctionality After discovery came the fun part! Just kidding, we think all parts of this are fun, because boring things suck & we love our job. We used the process map to start developing our sitemap and information architecture. After we had a great base to work with, and we’re talking big, nice frosted bottom-tier wedding cake kind of base, then we went to work on the UX Design and Functionality. We created wireframes for all key pages and for every step that the user would take throughout their journey. We took special note of key conversion pathways and made sure we presented the right information at the right time to make the path the conversion smooooooth. We made sure all values and USP’s were present at key points and that important information was easy to locate and understand. We ain’t playing no game of Where’s Wally here, ladies and gents. The red, stripy shirt man is in clear view and here to help. Finish it off with Optimisation, Tracking, & Analysis With UX design done and dusted, it was time to tackle search engine optimisation across the entire website. We polished up this website until it was sparklin’ and made sure that all messaging matched the campaigns that the Klyp Marketing team had brewing. Once the website launched we started tracking. Not the ear to the earth, tasting the dirt kind; We save that for team bonding exercises. We mean website tracking to capture every interaction that we valued. We made sure to set up a clear distinction between goals and events so that our goals were only tracking the final conversion while our events were tracking each step that the user was taking. That way we knew that our end conversion rate was based on actual leads, rather than interactions like PDF downloads, steps in the funnel, and other interactions. We aren’t fakers like those PDF download tracking companies. We’re the real deal and we care about goals that are actually making our clients money! Sorry, we’re a bit passionate about data tracking…
