Given the tight timeline, my approach had to be streamlined while ensuring the essential steps for a user-centered design process were maintained. Here’s a a description of my approach and actions:
Conducted rapid interviews with key users and stakeholders to gather insights on the current ordering experience.
Synthesized interview findings to identify key issues and urgent needs.
Developed wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes focusing on core functionalities and user flows.
Conducted quick usability tests with a small group of users to gather actionable feedback.
Finalized the design and prepared it for a smooth handoff to the developer.

Using an existing database of customer emails we created a survey asking if during the pandemic people will still be coming to a shop to repair their vehicle or look for other options that don’t require physical presence.

As a result, we found that most of the people would prefer a contactless option, although almost the same amount of people is willing to visit a shop if it stays open, so we decided to place the main emphasis on new contactless options of the service but at the same time assure people who want to visit the shop that it’s safe to do so and offer them a discount if they decide to drop off the car by themselves as it saves money and time for the business.

From customer interviews, we found that the most common fear about using the mobile /pick up service is being ripped off so we decided to put the prices for all services on the page so people can see that they’ll be paying usual in-store prices and not getting overcharged.

Because there was a lot of services to list we decided to collapse them into a 8 items list with ‘Show more’ button so the list does not prevent users who are not interested in pricing at the moment to find the information they need.
We made a website fully resposive because Analitics page showed that most of the people are looking for the service from mobile devices - 63.32%.

User testing findings
User testing findings
While testing the design we found that customers were hesitating with submitting the booking form even after they filled it out. Also, they often couldn’t find the service they need at the dropdown menu so that kept scrolling up and down looking to the closest option. To resolve it we changed the input type of the service field to ‘text input’ so customers can explain the issue in their own words and I also added the notice “We’ll contact you after submitting to discuss the details” so they will feel more at ease while booking, knowing that even if they did input something wrong they'll still be able to fix while clarifying the details of appointment with a mechanic.

We also found that live chat option substantially increased the number of people reaching out and therefore in a higher number of bookings.

Working on this page I learned that in tough situations like a pandemic it’s especially important to emotionally connect with our customers and inform them about possible solutions rather than playing on fears and promoting panic. We listened to what our customers needed at the moment and provided solutions.

We did not test our booking enough before launching the website and found that when people had problems with it we were not able to changes it the exact way we wanted because of budget restrictions, so we needed to come up with creative solutions to fix a problem without any major changes for developers. We needed to do more extensive testing before submitting the final design for development.
