01. The Challenge

Supporting Small Business Growth
Small businesses often lack the budget for independent digital storefronts. Wellmax aimed to bridge this gap, but the existing platform hindered growth due to:
• High Drop-offs: A complex, multi-step checkout caused significant cart abandonment.
• UX Friction: Lengthy sign-up forms and limited payment options frustrated users.
Information Overload: The product catalog lacked a clear hierarchy, affecting conversion rates.

02. The Solution

Conversion-Driven Checkout & Catalog
As part of a 60-person team, I focused on simplifying the user journey for both buyers and sellers.
• One-Page Checkout: Replaced the multi-step flow with a high-efficiency single page, including guest checkout and saved payments.
• Catalog Optimization: Redesigned item pages to highlight key product details and clear CTAs, improving the path to cart.
Visual Clarity: Introduced progress indicators and intuitive navigation to reduce cognitive load during high-intent actions.

Old and new user flow

+20% User Satisfaction: Post-launch surveys confirmed a smoother, more transparent shopping experience.

04. Design Process

• Ideation: Brainstormed multi-payment integrations and "minimalist" UI patterns for high-density e-commerce pages.
• Validation: Developed low-fidelity prototypes for iterative testing, focusing on error messaging and order summary visibility.
Collaboration: Worked within a specialized design unit (Design Lead + Graphic Designer) to ensure alignment with the broader 60-person product team.
