The KPIs
Conversion Metrics, Engagement, and Customer Satisfaction

  1. Consider the percentage (%) of visitors who make a purchase, the amount of time spent per transaction, and the checkout completion rate.

  2. Track how our users interact with the redesigned interface through bounce rate, the average time on site, pages through session, and click-through rate (CTR).

  3. Assess the number of returning customers and, lastly, track customer sentiment of the redesign on social media. “How likely are users to recommend YesStyle?”

Takeaways
Responsive Design, Efficiency, and Designing Systems

  1. Design isn’t limited to one device or breakpoint; it’s important to consider other devices and how items will reorganize when used on various platforms. 

  2. Reusable components with built-in auto-layout made it easier to update content and allowed for responsive design (variants and different states).

  3. Variables are the key to maintaining a cohesive design system and management.
