introduction

background

hūmNET is an early-stage startup founded by CEO Darren Mark. his flagship product, the hūmNET app, is a brand-new concept in the social and wellness space.


to spread the word about his product, Darren needed a landing page website for the new hūmNET app that would make a strong impact — selling not only the brand, but the story as well. i was brought on to redesign and develop hūmNET's new website.

content planning

i began the project by planning out content for the new website. with the original landing page being very simple, i was building on the existing content rather than omitting anything.


after brainstorming ideas with my client, i listed out the features that aligned most with the project goals, sprinkling in just a couple of new ones.

with a good idea of what the website should include, i categorized the content into three pages: home, how it works, and contact us. i created a short user flow to visualize the layout of the site.

low-fi explorations

after ensuring that my client and i were on the same page, i began sketching out ideas for the three site pages, accounting for both desktop and mobile sizes.

contact page

moving to high-fidelity

moving to high-fidelity brought on the most challenging parts of the project: the visual design (including color scheme, fonts, components, etc.) and content design (including copy and graphics).


to ensure consistency and sustainability throughout the desktop and mobile screens, i began by building a component library. i took inspiration from the hūmNET app.

although i had sketched out the low-fidelity frames in desktop view, i designed mobile-first in Figma to keep content as refined as possible and promote SEO.


after multiple meetings with my client to make sure we were on the same page, i had a prototype that was ready for usability testing.

testing the designs

i tested my mockups with five users, using two different methodologies to assess both usability performance and effectiveness of the content.


on average, all tasks were completed without error, and interest level in downloading the hūmNET app had increased from 48 to 58 percent (+10%).

usability testing uncovered a few opportunities for improvement: adjusting text sizing and text alignment, and adding and streamlining calls to action (CTA's).

unexpected iterations

once i updated the designs with my usability testing insights, i was excited to share them with the hūmNET team for feedback.


luckily, they were able to give me some valuable insight on even more content improvements. my client also requested a couple of new additions.* this resulted in me making a couple of unexpected, yet critical, iterations to the site.

*a promotional video and up-to-date app screens were now available to be included in the site.

final design

after working in the new content, getting feedback and iterating again, i finally had a product that everyone was happy with.

next steps

if it were in-scope, it might be beneficial to conduct content-focused testing on the latest design, like comparative usability testing.


after my redesign, i optimized the site for implementation and developed the live website myself, which you can check out here. you can also check out my work on the hūmNET app.

takeaways

not all users are created equally.

i found that, when usability testing, some users were more talkative - and interested in the product - than others, giving more thoughtful and valuable feedback as a result. identifying these users and gathering insights from them was especially important.


*always* get as much feedback as you can.

the feedback i received from my teammates on my hi-fi designs resulted in multiple unexpected yet beneficial changes, making it critical to achieving my final results.
