Learnings

The problem with redesigns is that it is difficult to exactly explain the lift. Possible explanations could be:

  • A single call to action in stead of two options
  • Changing the large and unclear icons to simple and familiar green tickboxes
  • A testimonial that builds trust and explains the benefits
