We identified the best approach was for three rounds of user testing. At such a high price point it was important to test and understand the information and content required, specific to this target market.
It was identified that the visuals were going to be important for this target market and so the second round of testing, on a design prototype, had a strong focus on identifying the particular imagery and messaging that would resonate.
Given this website was very functionally heavy, the website staging testing was critical in seeing if users could intuitively search for properties and find all relevant information. Testing of the search and navigation was another important focus given the large volume of properties and the central role this played in the user journeys.
The key findings through the user testing that helped create a better final experience included:
The website increased from an NPS of 15 on the first round of testing, to 71 on the final round. This compares to an industry average of only 18.
The SUS score which indicates usability scored 91 after testing on the staging environment (top 3% of websites).
