Analysis
After conducting thorough research, I have come to realize that our signup process is outdated. We are not utilizing material design forms, there is no streamlined authentication process, and the card design lacks both fun and shareability. As a result, we have gained valuable insights into best practices in design and have also generated innovative ideas. Our primary sources of inspiration have been various financial apps and different e-commerce websites.
Wanted Results
We will consider these objectives met when we observe an increase in sales.
Free Card
Currently, 60% of users choose the free card, while our expectation was that less than 50% of users would opt for the free card.
Seconds
Users currently spend between 5 to 10 seconds on this screen, while our expectation is to reduce this duration to under 5-7 seconds.
Display
The screen currently presents three levels of information simultaneously, whereas our expectation is to separate this information across different screens.
New form
Most of the signups are form-based. However, our forms were outdated due to backend limitations and resource constraints. As I began designing the new forms, with the assistance of my Senior Product Designer, I initiated the development of my first custom design system specifically tailored to forms.
Kids journey
Kids cannot create an account, but we aimed to incorporate them into the experience. For instance, if a child is interested in a customized special card, they can send a link to their parent. When the parent opens the link, they will be directed to a personalized screen that displays the child's name & start the sign up process.
Parent journey – Psych Screen
The Psych Screen will be utilized based on different scenarios. When the user is arriving from a landing page where they are unaware of our services, we will need to display the Psych Screen to explain our top services. However, if they are coming from a place where all the services have already been presented with complete clarity, we will deactivate the Psych Screen to reduce the number of screens and information in the signup process. Each psych screen is created based on landing pages. Since we have more than 50 landing pages, it means that there is a potential for 150 different psych screens.
Card design
The signup process should commence with an element of enjoyment. Since 50% of drop-offs occur at the beginning of the signup, we have chosen to delay this screen as much as possible to encourage user commitment to the process. We believe that introducing Card design elements will help mitigate drop-offs. Additionally, users have the option to select cards from various landing pages and seamlessly proceed to the signup process & build more commitment.
Create account
Due to backend limitations, we require users to provide their email address. However, we have made efforts to minimize its visibility by implementing social authentication and adding OTP (One-Time Password) verification to enhance the security of their accounts.
Kid(s) details
Since we have information about which card has been selected for each child, we aim to display these cards to assist users in identifying the card dedicated to each child.
Select your membership, Card details & top up
'Select membership' feature is new, as we are introducing new memberships during the signup process. Therefore, we needed to create a simple design that can assist users in choosing the perfect membership for their needs. The 'Top up' screen has been moved to the end of the signup because this screen has a blocker (Big drop-off). We strategically use user commitment to encourage them to top up their accounts. The 'Summary' (Card details) has been updated, as now it provides a clear view of all the fees, including one-time and monthly charges.
Payment success
Now, it's time for the user to download the app, explore its features, share it, and enjoy it! We have also implemented a custom animation that activates after adding payment card details. To meet the COO's requirements, we have included the 'Refer a Friend' (RAF) option beneath the CTA for downloading the app. This is aimed at encouraging users to invite more friends and expand the community, allowing others to share the same unique gohenry experience.
