GoDaddy Websites & Stores Mobile Marquee
2021
Overview
The GoDaddy Websites & Stores page used two different images across markets and had a terrible mobile experience. The objective was to enhance the mobile experience while considering scalability and global reach. Meanwhile, marketers wanted to see an increased GCR of 3% and look for ways to improve the experience without updates to the messaging, since it had previously demonstrated strong performance in testing.
My role
As the lead UX designer, I worked on the module design which involved research, building, pressure testing, testing accessibility, and partnering with the development team, project manager, and marketers.
Project timeline
Design kickoff to engineering handoff: 6 weeks
Observations
-
The GoDaddy Websites & Stores page is using two different images across markets. Do we really need that?
-
There are multiple languages of varied lengths we have to accomodate for. This creates awkward spaces between copy and imagery or image overlapping with header copy and so on.
-
We wanted to make changes by using trying a new module, which allows us to have a fixed image area, auto adjusting its height based on content and thus copy never overlaps with visual. This allows the copy to expand as necessary for different languages.
-
The image isn't telling much of a story and seems vague, also not in sync with latest brand and design library.
Exploration and testing
-
As an integral part of a solution addressing various challenges, I developed a revised marquee module. We tested into the new design and component.
-
Created an intuitive component capable of expanding based on content, thus accommodating globalizations with diverse languages and lengths effectively.
-
I developed a design intended to be more engaging, capable of narrating a compelling story.
-
Addressing the issue of false bottom, we aimed to enhance scroll-through rates.
-
Lastly, we tackled issues related to image and copy overlap, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Impact and success
-
The intuitiveness solves the problem for all the lengthy languages like German and Spanish or Thai
-
It performed better than the device shot version so we rolled out with this being the winner, in all markets
-
Removing the false bottom feel of the previous design, increased the scroll through rate
-
GCR improved by 4.2% overall
