Participants were asked to complete key tasks such as selecting a service, choosing a vehicle, and completing a booking. The tests revealed the importance of a simplified form layout, clearer service labels, and visible call-to-action buttons. Insights from testing were used to refine navigation, reduce friction, and improve overall user confidence.
