These sketches help visualize the layout, features, and user flow before diving into detailed design and development. By sketching, you can quickly experiment with different ideas, spot potential issues early, and refine the user experience. This step is important because it ensures that the app's design is user-friendly and intuitive, making the ordering process smooth and enjoyable for your customers. Plus, it saves time and resources by addressing design flaws before they become costly to fix.

I also conducted a usability study where participants were asked to perform tasks on the app prototype. We recorded their click paths, observations, and quotes, and rated the difficulty of each step on levels 1/2/3. This study is important because it helps us understand how real users interact with the app, identify any pain points, and gather direct feedback. By doing this, we can make informed improvements to ensure our custom surfboard order app is as user-friendly and efficient as possible.

 I also created an insight identification Jamboard from the user study. This Jamboard holds various insights, color-coded by each participant, and was used to visualize common themes. For example, we found that 3 out of 5 participants wanted to view delivery options and information, highlighting that our app lacked clear order delivery details. This process is important because it helps us see patterns and gather meaningful insights from user feedback, allowing us to make targeted improvements to enhance the overall user experience of our custom surfboard order app.

I created a UX research study plan, detailing methodology, participant types, and interview questions. This structured approach helps gather valuable insights from the right users, guiding design decisions. It ensures we understand user needs, preferences, and pain points, leading to a more user-friendly and effective custom surfboard order app.

Research Study

Performing a competitive analysis on surfboard shops by examining their websites, design styles, language tones (friendly or serious), price offerings, navigation, and user flows is a critical step in the UX process. This analysis is important because it provides insights into industry standards and user expectations. By understanding how competitors position themselves, what design choices they make, and how they structure their user experience, you can identify best practices and areas where your own shop can differentiate itself. This ensures that your website not only meets but exceeds user expectations, enhancing your competitive edge and improving overall user satisfaction.

A UX competitive audit report for custom surfboard building shops compares their online experiences against competitors. It evaluates design, functionality, and usability to identify strengths and weaknesses. This is crucial as it helps shops improve their websites, differentiate from competitors, and attract more customers by offering a superior user experience.

Creating a user journey chart involves mapping out the steps a customer takes to buy a custom surfboard, including their actions, feelings, and potential pain points. This UX process is crucial as it provides a detailed understanding of the user's experience, highlights emotional states at each step, and identifies areas for improvement. By visualizing the entire journey, businesses can make informed decisions to enhance the user experience, streamline the buying process, and better meet customer needs, ultimately leading to higher satisfaction and increased sales.
