Website Realignment

Project origin

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the customer and adviser journey on canadalife.co.uk, we commissioned an independent heuristic review in Autumn 2021. The objective of this review was to identify potential areas of improvement and prioritise them based on their impact on user experience.

The report generated from this review provided valuable insights into key areas that required attention, and we have since conducted further research and analysis to establish the most effective solutions.

Project scope

Realign, not redesign
Instead of starting from scratch, consider reorganising or repurposing existing content.
Take advantage of the established brand to a greater extent.
Improve differentiation between content intended for customers and advisers.
Make use of internal research from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and digital experts.
Use testing and iteration to refine the approach over time. Start with a baseline and then evaluate results regularly.

How might we...?

The Canada Website Realignment project utilized the "How Might We" (HMW) framework in its UI/UX design process to address the design challenges identified through website analysis and heuristic evaluation.

By framing design problems as questions starting with "How might we..." followed by a specific problem statement, the HMW framework served as a prompt for generating potential solutions.

The HMW framework proved to be a powerful tool for promoting creative solutions and driving innovation in the design process. As a result, the project achieved a 20% increase in engagement among advisers and a 16% increase in customer engagement.
