Challenges

We lack of information why many users buy on the marketplace instead of our website, and I doubt that the aesthetic can solve the problem why our revenue is a quite low so, before jump into the solutions, I discuss with my manager first and here's my plan:

  1. 1-on-1 Discussion with My Manager: Start by discussing the project and raising concerns to ensure the project goals. During this step, we agreed to aligning with stakeholder first to share our concern.


  2. Stakeholder Alignment: Meet with stakeholders to align on the project’s goals and share our concerns. If the goal is simply to make the website more aesthetically pleasing, we won’t need to involve the research team, and the current plan can proceed as is. However, if the goal is to increase revenue, the plan needs to change, requiring user surveys and research input.


  3. Finalize the Plan: After aligning with stakeholders, they want to increase revenue. they understood our concerns and agreed to the new plan to involve researcher team and the timeline will adjusted also.

Research

Check Heatmpas & UX Audit

Because the decrease from lower funnel, then we focused the UX audit from that, The first thing, I see the data from heatmaps (We used clarity tools). After looking at the data many users drop off in our product detail page because our website is too slow and somehow the product picture does not appear. After I tried by ourself what users feel by UX Audit, I find some usability issue in our website, then the issue we prioritize by saverity rating, you can check more about the severity rating by nngroup in here, here are the findings prioritized from high to low:

1. Website Performance Issues
Our website has significantly low performance, with a Google Speed score of only 9% out of 100%. This negatively impacts the user experience and overall functionality.

2. Lack of Loading Indicators
The website lacks loading indicators while pages are loading, leading to a poor user experience. This causes users to encounter dead clicks.

3. Information Architecture on the Product Detail Page
Important information on the product detail page is located below the fold, making it hard for users to find. Critical actions, such as the "Add to Cart" button, require users to scroll down.

4. Order Creation Issue
Orders are not created when the payment status is pending, which may make users feel uncertain about the security of their purchase.

After do some UX Audit we can immediatly fix point 1 because is not an assumption, but for points 2-4 we need to make sure on user survey, it's really important to users or not.
