Real Estate Website Redesign : Yahoo!

PROBLEM:

Outdated homepage for Yahoo! Real Estate provided little appeal to real estate browsers. Clickthrough and engagement were low.

 

SOLUTION:

Did user studies into what target market was really looking for as they considered the purchase of one of the largest expenses of their lives. Created experience maps and personas that drove the design of a new homepage featuring content that was constantly refreshed and far more personalized.

 

MY ROLE:

Senior visual designer on this project, working very closely with an interaction designer and researcher.

Starting point: a screenshot of the old Yahoo! Real Estate website.

After a good deal of user research, we distilled the massive amount of information into a simple experience map around the core tasks and interests of our target market. The green circles represent areas of highest value, yellow areas are secondary, pink being tertiary and peripheral areas we could tap into.

Based on the research and new/revised experience map, I started wireframing new potential concepts, interactions, and layouts.

High fidelity visual designs concepts. Explored two different directions for A/B testing on clickthrough and engagement metrics.
