I and two other group members were assigned with redesigning Yelp's desktop app page in order to increase the number of monthly reviews on its platform, and how we can achieve this. We focused on adding elements that would improve the quality of life for users, as well as an original feature that will incentivize users to continue using their account

Proposed Solution

Consolidating the business page with drop-down menus to prevent needless scrolling and a shortcut to the reviews section through a scrolling tab on the right. Furthermore, a brand new feature: Yelp Rewards. Businesses can partner with Yelp by offering promos when users leave reviews on their page

Users either not compelled enough or find it a hassle to write reviews

Users only consider reviewing based off a really positive or negative experience. Would be more willing to review if provided incentives

Users typically use yelp to explore new options based on reviews and attached photos

User Persona

Hungry wants to find a new restaurant through Yelp. She decides on a restaurant but finds it difficult to navigate the surplus of info. She finally reaches the reviews, but she is having trouble with recommendations due to a lack of buzzwords and reviews with images.

Hungry has a good time, but does not leave a review because it was uneventful and not incentivized to do so. She closes Yelp and forgets about it until the next time she wants to eat out.


Pain Points

No incentive

Backtracking not easy

Crowded pages with no tabs

Reflection

It was a privilege working with two amazing group members who also put in their absolute best in order to create a satisfactory redesign. 

As my first project that followed the UX lifecycle, I was somewhat surprised at the amount of brainstorming and researched needed prior to actually designing the site. I initially was confused why the project length was a whole week, because I thought designing pages with group members would speed the time up much more, but I never factored in research, brainstorming, collaborating with members for additional input, etc. There was a lot of first times for me in this project, but I learned a lot about reasons behind motivations for people.
