Deckchair boosts website revenue by 147%

deckchair

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.

Findings

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.

Outcomes

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:

  • 85% increase in conversions
  • 147% increase in total revenue
  • 29% increase in average order value

Gallup optimizes designs for new users

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.

Findings

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).

Outcomes

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.”

Spiralyze solves a surprising user problem

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.
