Problem Statement

The popularity of the Butter Bell Crock in the global ecosystem is primarily because of the quality they deliver with their products. But for the new visitors, the website experience was not up to the mark. Problems included:

  • Poor shopping experience (especially mobile)
  • Slow page refresh rates
  • Discount code errors
  • Other usability issues that hindered the brand's growth. 

Our objective was to tailor down the flaws and technical errors and highlight the areas of improvement to enhance user experience and website interface.

 

Our Approach: 

From the primary to the secondary pages on the website, we performed an in-depth audit. We used different audit tools and strategies to perform an in-depth audit for both the desktop website and mobile versions to prepare a knitted report for Butter Bell Crock.

We focused upon:

  • UX and user behavior audit
  • Identifying user experience design issues
  • Identifying user interface design issues
  • Providing new features/fixes for a better experience

Our problem-solving method included:

  • Utilized click map, move map, and mobile click maps to understand the user flow. 
  • Analyzing the website for different functional bugs.
  • Understanding the UX/UI experience in the buying journey of the customer.
  • Conducting detailed analyses for the website desktop and mobile version to craft a detailed report on how we can enhance the UX and UI for their brand.

 

Analyzing the pages

From the primary to the secondary pages on the website, we performed an in-depth audit. We also figured out the different challenging areas for the customers and analyzed solutions to the problems. The list of pages on the website is as follows:

  • Home page
  • Product page
  • How to use page
  • Category page
  • Cart page
