Context

As the project lead I was tasked with improving our online checkout experience, which was our main source of donation traffic.

Deliverables & Objectives

Increase sign ups

Improve Desktop experience

Product Analysis

Identifying weak points, gathering an understanding of where the current product sits and missed opportunities.

Current sign up prompt

1

Current sign up cta can be easily missed with value proposition or forced interaction.

Donation process

2

Trust, user's can feel easily lost and without confidence they're where they need to be.

3

Values are too high, user's can feel easily deterred. Users want to feel rewarded.

4

Long forms with no progress check can kill engagement and make short tasks feel longer.

Success screen

5

Despite being clear, this is another missed opportunity.

6

Powerful messaging but weak UX copy with little pull
