Challenges

The main challenges included increasing the visibility of the 'Mark as Booked' feature, simplifying the booking process, and ensuring the interface was intuitive and engaging for users.

A unique challenge for this task, was that I was unable to do any user research, a commercial decision had been made to improve this feature, so I was asked to ideate, design and ship the product for testing in a live environment.

Usability review

During my evaluation of the VenueScanner platform, I identified several key usability issues. The booking process includes redundant steps that could be streamlined by making step two editable, removing the need for the first step. Tooltips are too close to CTAs, causing confusion, and should be separated, with CTAs positioned closer to event details for better accessibility. The 'Mark as Booked' action needs to be more prominent, ideally becoming the primary action after sending a quote, and should provide immediate feedback to enhance user engagement.

Furthermore, the platform's colour palette and tone of voice should be consistent with the brand's primary colours and use clear, specific instructions. CTAs and icons must be uniformly designed and positioned, and the event booked screen should be more engaging and offer a 'wow' moment to encourage user interaction.
