Register customers with minimal fuss.
OVERVIEW
Duplicate accounts made it difficult to track orders. With an uplift in complaints to Customer Support Distrelec needed to understand why and fix the problem.
THE CHALLENGE.
Simplify registration.
Minimise any friction and streamline the onboarding process to maximise the number of customers who complete registration.

Framing the issues
I conducted a thorough analysis of Hotjar session recordings to identify behaviour patterns. The findings clearly indicated significant issues with the country selector and email input, both of which were located towards the end of the form. As a result of unsuccessful email validation, users consistently abandoned the onboarding process.
THE DISCOVERY.
Experiencing pain points.
During the discovery phase, I conducted a quick, high-intensity review of the competitor landscape, collaborated with customer support to address pain points within the experience and initiated research into user needs and behaviours.






THE REQUIREMENTS.
Balancing expectations and KPIs
Synthesising research allowed me to focus on what users needed from the experience and how it should feel. I believed it was vital to provide the users with a great experience to help build customer retention. Thinking about emotional design early on helped Distrelec understand the importance of aesthetics and tone of voice to the experience.
Data-driven opportunities
As design lead, I liaised closely with the team to review user insight, which helped shape potential opportunities. We began by reviewing session recordings, conducting customer interviews, and generating surveys, which provided stakeholder insight and helped support potential next steps.
THE FRAMEWORK.
Validating opportunities.
Following my analysis of session recordings, I noticed users struggled with email validation, leading them to abandon the form. To tackle this issue, I generated lots of ideas, which focused on placing the email input field. I believe this change would enhance the user experience by helping users navigate from the onset of their journey and reducing existing frustrations. To test this hypothesis, I created a prototype and used Useberry to conduct participant tests.
