This Focused on gathering as much data and insights as possible from various sources such as analytics, surveys, past test results, creative testing and more. After reviewing and analysing data and insights we decided to leverage a few psychological levers such as trust, motivation and usability as they proved successful in previous experiments.

Our in-house UX design team crafted the new design for the page. We opted to focus on the homepage before redesigning the rest of the site, to allow testing to inform our decisions.

We utilised behavioural science and psychology to help motivate users to convert.

Trust Principle:
We focused on credibility and social proof and added in elements such as Google ratings, real customer reviews and user-generated content.

Picture Superiority Effect:
We added strong visual elements to evoke positive emotions, encouraging users' excitement about seeing Iceland and its amazing natural scenery. Ice Lands Breathtaking natural landscapes were a stunning backdrop to the newly strengthened value proposition.

Simplicity Principle:
By reducing the number of visual options, we could reduce the choices presented to the user at once, reducing the amount of processing power the user would have to invest in understanding the page.

The redesigned search bar made it easier for users to choose their options, dates and car type with less effort and better flow.

We added a banner towards the end of the page with all the different car types, making it easier for users as their mental model could have been to start with the car they preferred and then see what dates are available.

Experimentation would help us ensure we were going in the right direction before spending time and resources redesigning multiple pages. This efficiency saved the client resources in both time and money in the development stage as we could be confident the changes would have the desired commercial impact.

Stage 3 saw us publish the redesigned homepage in a live A/B test environment to track performance and identify anything that might negatively impact the user experience.
