Brand and user experience-centric website design

I was the lead UX designer for the website project at Kvik, responsible for creating a concept, designing a seamless UX and leading the design team for 2 years.

At the outset of the project, we conducted extensive research to understand our users’ needs, behaviors, and pain points. Based on this research, we established key principles for the new website, including:

  • Creating a visual aesthetic that aligns with our products and brand.
  • Prioritizing a visually-driven user experience, with an emphasis on images and videos and less on text to make the website more engaging and inspiring.
  • Tailoring all pages to meet the specific needs and intentions of our users at different stages of their journey.
  • Adopting an outward-facing communication strategy, which required an internal process of sharing new ideas and principles to ensure that the website is in line with our company’s vision.

A new contextual booking flow with app-feel

Buying a new kitchen can be a complex and overwhelming process. That’s why it’s important for Kvik to meet with potential customers, explain our offerings, and provide clarity on the purchasing process. In 2022, we took a significant step forward by designing and launching a brand new booking flow for our website.

The project started with a five-day design thinking workshop and research involving thousands of users. This was followed by the creation of interactive prototypes, which underwent thorough testing to ensure a seamless user experience.

The design of the new booking flow was guided by several key principles:

  • Simplified booking flow with stages. To avoid complexity of choise, we divided the booking flow into stages, allowing users to proceed one step at a time.
  • Native app feel and mobile-first approach. Our priority was to enhance the user experience on mobile devices and create a seamless, app-like feel.
  • Contextual CTAs, human-like booking flow. Our aim was to enhance the user experience by positioning CTAs and the booking flow in relevant contexts, using a brand-aligned human-like communication style.
  • Data-driven prefilled and skipped steps. We utilized data to prefill information and skip unnecessary steps, making the booking process more efficient.
