Your friend has been really excited about their new shoes from the brand Allbirds, which they bought online. Since they told you about them, you've been curious about the brand. You decided to check out the Allbirds website to see their shoe options, and consider maybe getting a pair for yourself.
The worst thing about my experience is that the main page said one thing about having a limited edition color for sneakers (wouldn't let me navigate and interact with it) so I had to go the long way in trying to find the same pair I liked. However in finding it, it wasn't consistent since the color was not shown as a choice for the same sneakers it showed on the main page.
Adding a lot more sustainability and explanations and comparisons of how these sneakers and apparel are more sustainable than other retailers and explain that data and how it came about. Also, make tab menu navigation on the site so its easier to know the different sections on the site and be able to navigate and find all the sections without missing out on information. Make sustainability a priority and advertise as such on the main page at the top and throughout.
I liked how modern it looked and the sustainability the company offers with their shoes.
No other comments other than my improvement suggestions. I hope all of this is helpful! I do really value sustainability, biodegradability, recycling, etc. I would love to see more on the site about the materials (how they are sustainable) and what that means for how long the shoe will last and what to do when the shoe is worn out. i.e. can it be recycled? does the company take it back? I would also love to see as part of the sustainability initiation program that there are ways people can buy "not perfect" or "defected products" for a whole lot less so these potential mess ups in products don't go to waste and this also helps sustainability, along with partnering with conservation organizations like WWF or 4Ocean.
You have been eyeing some new supplies for your dog and decide to do some online browsing.

As I mentioned, the text on the homepage seemed cramped and the overall design of the homepage seemed a little throw together. None of the products really excited me as a user.
I like how easy it was to search for things. It was easy to customize my search, so even if they didn’t carry the right brand I could find a replacement.

Deckchair, a user experience consultancy, increased their client’s website revenue by 147% after doing usability testing with Trymata.
The client, a specialty tree grower and seller, wasn’t seeing the conversion rates they were hoping for on their ecommerce website. Using our usability testing tools, Deckchair tested the site to learn more about the obstacles to conversion.
What Deckchair discovered through their usability testing is that the organization of products on the site didn’t match the way that users were actually looking for products.
The trees on the website were categorized in a way that made sense to the business: by spruces, maples, or junipers, for example. But those categories weren’t useful to consumers, who mostly lacked expert tree knowledge.
Instead, users wanted to find trees based on how they intended to use them: for example, ornamental trees, shade trees, or trees for hedges.
Based on their research findings, the Deckchair team overhauled their client’s web navigation, so that users could find the trees they needed in a practical way. After the overhaul, the client saw resounding improvement:
“The fact that you can set everything up and run the test in a matter of hours with Trymata keeps things really agile. It’s a tremendous help. And our stakeholders know that we have this tool at our disposal at any time and can constantly get user feedback. That’s really reassuring.”

Gallup, the world’s leading polling organization, was experiencing a surge in new visitors to their Presidential Job Approval Center after Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
While the approval center tool had previously been used mainly by pundits and journalists, most of the new traffic was members of the general public, who were less familiar with polling dashboards, and were frequently using mobile devices instead of desktop.
Gallup’s UX team ran remote usability tests with Trymata to collect feedback from people all over the U.S., and learn how they could improve the experience for new users on different devices.
Surprisingly, their research showed that in some ways, the portal was actually harder to use on desktop than mobile. The icons for adding and removing presidents for comparing were obvious in the mobile view, but users didn’t easily guess their function on desktop.
On the other hand, on mobile devices there wasn’t room to show the selected presidents and the graph together, causing users to have difficulty telling which line represented which president (a problem that didn’t affect desktop).
To help mobile users interpret the approval graph without seeing their selections, a legend was added for quick reference. Gallup’s team also chose to completely redesign the method for adding and removing presidents, to improve the usability on desktop while keeping the mobile experience consistent.
With the fresh experience updates, Gallup’s surge of new users were able to much more easily find the data they were looking for.
“Video feedback is the best,” Gallup Usability Specialist Jordan Becker told us about the project. “There’s nothing more impactful than showing a video clip to stakeholders. It makes everything click. They really see that it’s real people and real problems that we’re dealing with.”
“The honest, raw feedback we got through Trymata helped us set aside our biases and prioritize our roadmap based on what our customers really wanted.”

"When we bring on new UX designers, it's really easy to onboard them onto the Trymata tool. It’s great, it’s not overly complicated, and it gives us exactly what we need to get great data from our user research.”

Conversion rate optimization agency Spiralyze was working on their client’s SaaS website to increase signups. As part of the project, they ran usability tests with Trymata to see if there were any pain points they were overlooking.
During testing, several users asked whether the company’s software worked on Mac. This wasn’t a question that they had even thought about, because it doesn’t actually make sense. A SaaS product by definition would work on any kind of computer.
Nonetheless, this same question popped up multiple times in their user testing videos, and so the Spiralyze team acted on it. They added a label reading “Compatible with Mac & PC,” with the Mac and Windows logos.
Right away, they saw conversions increase on the site.
“When evaluating design decisions, having access to lean, quality tools that help us conduct research quickly and with rigor is everything. Trymata’s ease of use, robust quantitative data, and flexibility have won it a definite spot in our toolkit.”

“When I make design recommendations, having data from Trymata allows me to ground them with hard evidence. It makes my points a lot more solid – I'm able to say, ‘4 out of 5 people struggled here, 5 out of 7 people couldn’t do this.’ With Trymata, I get the ammo I need to defend my design decisions.”
