Problem Statement

My Role

Individuals seeking property in Mexico face a lack of comprehensive online resources, highlighting the demand for transparent and easily accessible real estate services

As part of a team of six designers, we collaborated on this case study to enhance and strengthen Baja Land Developers' brand identity and better align it with their target market. My role as a UX researcher involved conducting surveys, facilitating brainstorming sessions, crafting user insight statements, creating affinity diagrams, and contributing to creative visualizations

User Interface Analysis

We audited the website and reflected on creating one that is professional and displays trust. Our goal was to create a platform that communicates clearly, engages effectively, and provides a powerful online presence to our users

Personas

User Surveys

User Interviews

Defining Our Users

Our research led us to create the following Proto Persona. We believed that someone with a family and adventurous spirit would be the ideal candidate who would benefit from this service.

We sent out a survey to friends, family, and coworkers through social media and Google surveys.

From the interviews, online guests found the current websites to be difficult to use and asked for an updated one that would bring more credibility to the website for those that couldn’t make in-person viewings.

MoSCoW Method

  • Must: An educational page

  • Should: A filter button to narrow down the search for a lot

  • Could: An income calculator to help users estimate the potential return on investment

Information Architecture

Site Map

We organized our menu options and where the content would go for a better user flow. We then used a hierarchy to better guide our person through the main information needed to purchase a property and have access to resources after making the purchase.

User Flow

We focused on the checkout process where we wanted to make sure our person could pick which property was wanted, reserve an appointment, and pay the down payment if the person was ready to reserve the lot.
