Research Overview:

  • While the research covered the full App and Web ecosystem, this case study focuses specifically on the Homepage, the key touchpoint driving both conversion rate and conversion volume.

  • The goal was to understand how users perceive and interact with promotional content, forming the foundation for a redesign that increased both conversion efficiency and total conversions

  • Analyzed 30 days of Google Analytics, focused on CR, Total Users, Sessions

  • Focused on Homepage interactions: banner clicks, scroll depth, and Deal Zone visibility.

  • Mapped user heat concentration and drop-off behavior along the scroll path.

Process:

  • Users focused on search/navigation but ignored promo banners.

  • Only 32% scrolled to the Deal Zone → key offers placed below view.

 Needed stronger hierarchy & promo visibility to drive action.

Finding:

User Interviews
  • Conducted an on-site user interview session with 20 customers at AvaKids’ official offline store

  • Goal: understand why users preferred purchasing in-store instead of via App or Mobile Web,

 and observe how they interacted with the App when introduced to it in-store

  • Each participant was asked to explore the App for 3–5 minutes while sharing feedback aloud

Process:

  • Drop points identified: Many users opened the App but didn’t notice the “Deal Zone” or active campaign banners, several commented that “nothing looks special” or “it feels boring than the website

  • Motivation gap: Users were not motivated to switch channels unless the App showed clearer, stronger value (e.g., visible discounts, app-only offers)

Finding:

Competitor Analysis
  • Benchmarked 2 major competitors in the mom & baby retail market: Con Cưng, KidsPlaza

  • Compared homepage layouts, promotional hierarchy, and user motivation design across App and Mobile Web

  • Focused on how each brand communicates trust, promotion visibility, and convenience

Process:

ConCung

  • Strength: Prioritizes promotion visibility and purchase urgency through strong banners and top-fold deal sections

  • Weakness: UI feels cluttered; too many competing elements reduce focus

Kidsplaza:

  • Strength: Builds trust and convenience, layout emphasizes store network, product reliability, and parent-oriented guidance. Uses subtle banners and curated deals instead of flash sales

  • Weakness: Promotional content lacks energy and distinctiveness; users may overlook deals due to soft hierarchy

DESIGN EXECUTION & IMPACT

Main Problem

Main Problem

Before the redesign, the AvaKids App and Mobile Web shared almost identical content, lacking a cohesive experience and distinct value. Although the App achieved a high 8% conversion rate, its small active user base limited both revenue and campaign engagement. User research revealed that there was little motivation to switch to the App, as many felt it looked just like the websitehighlighting an issue in perceived value and exclusivity

What I Learned

What I Learned

  • This project gave me the opportunity to bridge UX decisions with business growth. As both a Product Manager and UX/UI Designer, I learned how critical it is to align design strategy with measurable KPIs, not just aesthetic goals.

  • Redesigning the homepage taught me that small, data-driven changes like improving product card clarity or restructuring promotion hierarchy can significantly increase user engagement and revenue.

  • I also learned the importance of cross-team collaboration. Working closely with the marketing, data, and brand teams helped ensure that design not only solved user pain points but also supported commercial goals.

  • Finally, observing real users interact with the new homepage reinforced a key lesson: great design feels invisible it simply helps users achieve their goal effortlessly.
