OSPREY LONDON UX & Conversion Rate Optimisation

project Stats

OSPREY LONDON started life in 1980 making handcrafted leather belts; it is now one of the UK’s leading independently owned luxury leather and retail companies. In 2019 OSPREY LONDON & The Pixel undertook a redesign of the existing OSPREY LONDON ecommerce store, that included a range of new functionality and services to improve the customer journey and UX for both desktop and mobile users.

UX Optimisation

OSPREY LONDON wanted UX analysis that would help expand functionality and performance across the site as a whole. Discovery sessions and collaborative workshops were held, focusing on the current digital & brand experience, followed by research & user testing to provide first-hand customer feedback that was key to improving conversion results. The resulting series of UX improvements were made: Purchasing Journey � Review & Comparison Tool - The basket page was converted to include large thumbnail images and core specs for product comparison to aid customer buying decisions. � Persistent Basket - Non purchased items were retained per customer and saved to prompt should users wish to complete their purchase. � Custom Filtering System - A custom filtering system was added to category pages, including a mobile-specific category page with mobile-friendly filtering. � Supplementary Products - Supplementary products that complemented existing items replaced alternative products to avoid distracting the user. � Delivery - All delivery options were highlighted to present costs upfront in the basket for maximum transparency and to reduce abandonment. Checkout � Guest Checkout - Customers are now able to check out as guests with the opportunity to create an account should they wish to. � Hint Text - Hint text increased the ease of use of the checkout, explaining why certain information was required and how it will be used. � Address Finder - Users can now enter a street address or postcode (UK) for fast address entering using the Loqate Postcode Lookup feature. � AA Accessibility Standards - Accessibility standards ensured title sizes and background colours were correct to help users check out without impediment.
