The Challenge

Amplify’s existing platform presented usability challenges caused by fragmented workflows and an inconsistent booking experience. Both customers and service providers struggled to complete core tasks efficiently. 

These issues led to increased cognitive load, longer task completion times, and operational inefficiencies for businesses managing appointments and services.

Key Pain Points Identified

  • Multi-step, unclear booking journeys
  • Inconsistent navigation structure
  • Manual effort in appointment management
  • Lack of visual hierarchy

Design Process Deep Dive

Discovery & Research

We conducted in-depth research to understand user needs, behaviors, and pain points, forming a strong foundation for design decisions throughout the project.

  •  Created user personas and empathy maps to capture user motivations
  • Restructured information architecture to improve clarity and findability
  • Developed wireframes and interaction flows to validate early concepts
  • Designed high-fidelity UI screens and interactive prototypes

Ideation & Prototyping

Using insights from research, we facilitated design thinking workshops to explore solutions and translate ideas into tangible designs. Multiple wireframe and prototype iterations were created and tested to validate assumptions early. 

  •  Conducted 3 rounds of design thinking workshops
  • Tested 15+ wireframe iterations
  • Built interactive prototypes for key user flows
  • Incorporated continuous stakeholder feedback 

Testing & Validation

Before launch, we validated design decisions through comprehensive usability testing with real users. The testing approach combined task-based scenarios, qualitative feedback, and quantitative metrics to ensure real-world effectiveness. 

  •  Conducted 18 moderated usability testing sessions
  • Ran unmoderated testing with 200+ participants
  • Performed A/B testing on key design decisions
  • Validated accessibility compliance and usability standards
