My Role

Project Time
5 months
Deck Research
First of all, we did a heuristic analysis which is a way to test whether a website is user friendly. In other words, it’s a technique for finding usability problems.
Upon researching in depth about persuasive strategies and concluded that liking and authority are the 2 most suitable persuasive strategies.
Some of the best shopify trends include an emphasis on search bar, product personalization, minor animations and more.

The weakness in brand visual guidelines will lead lebanese expats to have an unimpressive experience
Ideation
After conducting some research, we found a list of Ideation techniques that will help us in our ideation session such as Brainstorming, Sketching, Provocation and more. Also, the participants of this session include the creative and research department, executives, the Presentail tech team and the marketing department.
We had 2 brainstorming sessions held in 2 consecutive days. We discussed the main insights taken from the users.
The discussion includes topics such as:
delivery services, customer satisfaction, having an immersive experience, branding, pricing, Lebanese vibes, and customizable products.
