ANALYTICS
05 COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Currently SSGP’s website works best on a computer, however we are not always by a computer, there is a higher chance that we have our smartphone on us.
I conducted a comprehensive analysis of our sole competitor, focusing on their visual appeal and usability. This offered me insights that helped me make an informed decision to design an app instead of opting for a website redesign.

07 USER RESEARCH
Who are our users?
I concentrated my research on families who are current members. This helped me gain insight on how they use the website, their pain points, and their desired features. Through over 20 in-person interviews, I developed a better understanding on users’ experiences, reinforcing the decision to develop an app rather than redesign the website.
