Redesigning the "Sälj Virke" Page on Virkesbörsen: A Case Study in User-Centric Design
2023-12-16
In the realm of digital product design, the pursuit of enhancing user experience is paramount. One such endeavor unfolded in the redesign of the "Sälj Virke" page on Virkesbörsen. This initiative stemmed from a critical observation: users frequently contacted sales representatives seeking confirmation on the free nature of ad creation. Recognising this as a potential barrier to user engagement, our team embarked on a journey to address this concern and fortify user trust and confidence in our platform.
Here's the process that I took:
1. Identifying the Problem

- Recognizing this as a potential barrier to user engagement, we prioritized addressing this concern in the redesign.
2. Ideation and Collaboration:

- We emphasized the importance of not only clarifying the free nature of ad creation but also providing insight into the platform's operational model.
- Leveraged diverse perspectives to develop a holistic redesign strategy that catered to user needs and business objectives.
3. User Testing: Validating Design Concepts:
- We conducted 5 rigorous user testing sessions to gather feedback on preliminary design concepts.
- Identified user curiosity regarding the operational dynamics of the platform.
- We also utilized user insights to refine design elements and address user inquiries proactively.
4. Iteration and Refinement:
- I iteratively refined the design based on stakeholder feedback and user testing insights.
- I ensured alignment with user expectations and business goals.
- Together, we strived for continuous improvement to optimize the user experience iteratively.
5. Implementation and Performance Analysis:
- I then Implemented the finalized design into the Virkesborsen platform.
