RESEARCH INSIGHT

St. John's NSW customers faced difficulties in selecting suitable courses and contacted the organization for help.

During the preliminary usability test on the St. John's NSW website, it was discovered that users were facing challenges in finding crucial information such as course prices, pre-requisites, and other relevant details necessary for making informed decision.


Two other significant friction points were identified as well, which contributed to users losing confidence in the website’s usability.

Struggled to find the appropriate course because the current categorisation was ineffective in finding a course

SITE AUDIT SUMMARY

As my team delved into the usability study and competitive analysis, I conducted a site audit to identify further usability issues specifically related to the booking flow.

Broken links to a course’s details page not allowing them to get the information they need

PERSONA

St John’s NSW received calls from people who needed a certificate for work.

We were able to confirm that St John’s received many phone calls from people who were required to get a first aid certificate for work, regarding the selection of first aid courses.

PROBLEM

Streamlining the first aid course search

The usability test showed that St. John's NSW course categorization was ineffective, as users couldn't find the right course, and the card sort activity was inconclusive because users found it hard to categorize courses that didn't match their mental models.

Streamlining the first aid course search

Providing multiple pathways

Users take different routes to find what they want and don't hesitate to use search directly if needed, even if it means skipping other options.
