Redesign the booking flow for Airport Rentals

Airportrental.com is a trusted car rental platform powered by Webjet and part of the Online Republic family, with a diverse selection of cars available to customers worldwide.

Role

UX/UI Designer

Duration

1 Year

Opportunity

The leadership team decided to improve the user experience and design by switching our website to React. Our goal was to create a more modern and intuitive interface, and to provide a better overall user experience for our customers. We aimed to gradually introduce the new design and functionality while monitoring performance and comparing it to the old system. We also conducted competitor and user analysis to identify areas where we could lead the world car rental experience.​​​​​​​

Empathise

To create a successful redesign, we started by empathising with our target users. Through extensive research, including user surveys, unmoderated testing, and competitor analysis, we gained insights into user behaviour and preferences. We also monitored both the React and legacy sites by Hotter and Google Analytics to compare performance and identify areas for improvement.

Define

Using this research, we developed user journeys to capture key needs and pain points. As a designer, I collaborated with the rest of the team to establish design goals and requirements for the new website. We also conducted user interviews using usertesting.com, analysed statistics on competitors, and gathered real-world samples to further refine our understanding of user needs and preferences.

Prototype

I created wireframes and interactive prototypes based on the established design goals and requirements. These prototypes allowed us to test our design concepts and gather feedback from users. We conducted several rounds of AB testing, unmoderated user testing, and live testing to refine the design as we progressed.

Throughout the process, we gradually introduced new design and functionality while monitoring performance and comparing it to the old system. This helped us ensure that the new design was effective and user-friendly. By continuously testing and iterating our prototypes, we were able to create a final product that met the needs and preferences of our target users.Theming

Theming

I led the theming project for Airportrental.com and Goseetravel.com based on the design system I built. Through research and evaluation, I developed a cost and time-efficient theming system that allowed for seamless theme swapping and was easily understood by the wider team. The result was a successful project that delivered a consistent user experience across all pages and devices, leveraging the same design principles and visual language of the design system.


Outcomes

The new website built with React is efficient, user-friendly, and has improved performance. The design components are now better organised within the design system, resulting in a more streamlined process for designers and developers. These improvements were achieved through extensive user research and prototyping, and the collaboration between design and development teams.
