BACKGROUND
Users' Needs
The TV detail page design has not been improved in 3+ years.
In the monthly satisfaction surveys, only 43% of users satisfied with the current detail page. However, average satisfaction is 52%.
A lot of users request updated user experience & visual design. Following are some selected user feedbacks:
" Too much information to look at."
" Navigation of episodes is tough."
" The design is outdated"
Impact Perspective
The TV detail page takes a 57.5% page view, which is the most important page on the platform.
It also leads directly to the purchase flow, which contributes 86% of total revenue.
Improve the detail page will have the following impacts:
-
Increase user engagement rate
-
Increase purchase rate and revenue
DISCOVERY RESEARCH
To narrow down the scoop of the user problem, I worked with UX researchers to launch an online survey via SurveyMonkey.
Major user problem fall into the following category:
Information
80%
of users think it's hard to understand the content information.
Navigation
70%
of users didn't find right-side navigation elements during the first-time experience.
DEFINE THE PROBLEM
I worked with UX researchers to test with target users and uncovered the following challenges:
(Testing tool: usertesting.com)
Unclear Navigation
The menu is hard to catch uses' attention. The Season & Episode section is too complicated.
Information Overload
Users lose focus due to overwhelming text and visual elements.
DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES
Improve information hierarchy design
Increase navigation
discoverability
Improve efficiency of navigation between seasons & episodes
DEFINE THE GOAL
Improve user satisfaction 20%+
User satisfaction survey from 43% to 52%+
Increase user engagement 10%+
User page view from 57.5% to 63%+
Detail Page Layout Redesign
DESIGN APPROACH
To understand the target users' behaviors, I worked with user researchers to get the following data from survey:
What are the key reasons for users to make the purchase decision?
REORGANIZE INFORMATION
Base on survey data, I rank & group information based on relevance and importance to users

DESIGN ITERATION

Transfer information groupings into a linear design layout

Above the fold
Pros:

Easy, vertical navigation
Cons:
-
Not enough information above the fold
-
Too many clicks from the bottom back to the top


Above the fold

Further revision
Convert the linear layout into a modular layout
Pros:
-
More information displays above the fold
-
Improve navigation discoverability
-
Easy to navigate back to top
Cons:
-
Unfamiliar navigation pattern for new users

REFLECTION
What would I do next?
Push to build up the heatmap tracking system
The analytic team only tracks data on pageviews and purchase behaviors. However, designers need more data that shows users' activities on the platform interface to optimize product design.
I'm now working closely with the analytic team on defining the correct data categories for the valuable analytical results.
