Case Study – Creating Seamless User Experiences for a Public Service Agency
Enhancing one’s value through additional education is a significant aspect for most adults in Singapore. A certain Public Service Agency helps them achieve this by offering paths to upgrading their skillsets and guiding them through their website. However, people will of course have different needs and preferences, and education portals are not always optimized for these differing needs from the get-go. This can result in many users finding it difficult to search for specific content or courses or complete their journey in an optimum length of time.
Moulding user journeys through personas
The agency’s aim was to create a seamless experience for their informational website, which will also host select content from their joint corporate website and ensure that users get all the information they need in the most convenient, reliable, and quickest possible ways.
Together with our public sector partner, USER defined visitor preferences through user personas and journeys to revamp and streamline content, simplifying the user journey and improving their web portal’s performance through a comprehensive research, design, and deployment process.
Enhanced journeys leading to success
The resulting website resulted in an enhanced and smoother experience for various users, increasing user satisfaction and making connections between potential learners and skills training providers easier to establish.
