Usability Testing

Usability testing was conducted with representative users to evaluate the clarity, efficiency, and ease of the booking experience. 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.

Design System Language

We created a design language – a set of rules and principles that could be followed in the future to ensure consistency throughout the website.
