Trial users were frequently abandoning the email sending process at the schedule page, which was a key step in converting them to paid users

Role & contributions

As the Lead UX Designer, I led the redesign effort, focusing on improving the user experience by organizing the page layout and enhancing usability. I collaborated with a team that included 3 developers, a product manager, a content writer, and a UX researcher.

Impact

The redesign resulted in a 23% increase to in-product conversions, with users finding the new layout more intuitive and experiencing fewer issues completing the required steps. This also resulted in an 18% drop is attrition from the page overall.

Identifying the problem

Data analysis showed that users who completed the email sending process during their trial were 80% more likely to convert to paid users. However, a large number of trial users were dropping off at the schedule page, indicating that this step was a major barrier to activation.

Outcome

The redesigned schedule page led to a significant improvement in user experience, with a 23% increase in conversions. Users reported less confusion and found it easier to understand the steps required before sending an email. The clearer hierarchy, better grouping of tasks, and improved error state communication were key factors in this success.
