A conversion automation platform consolidating many apps into one.

Justuno is a well-known name in the ecommerce SaaS space that needed to be brought into the modern era. We built a platform to bring a new concept to our market: an automation platform for launching website content using workflows, sophisticated design capabilities, audience management, and SOC-2 certified account security.

The Problem

The current version of the platform is stale and missing features to continue driving growth, and these features cannot be accomplished on the old code base. We cannot currently offer responsive design for pop ups, and customers keep asking for the ability to "visualize" all the pop ups currently live on their websites. Additionally, our support and account management teams routinely require dev intervention and custom code for design requests.

The Proposal

Conduct user research for three main user personas: digital marketing agencies, SMB ecommerce businesses, and mid-market to enterprise online businesses. Starting from "0", create a design system and hi-fidelity mock ups of the entire app. This product should be a suite of marketing tools for businesses ranging from website pop ups, to landing pages, email and sms, and some CRM features. The new product needs to have parity with the feature set of the legacy platform, but be built in a way that allows for future iteration into full marketing automation feature sets.

Design System

The legacy product never had a complete design system, only limited style guides and a marketing brand kit. The conceptualization of the new app created an opportunity for a product-focused design system, which was built with efficiency and accessibility at it's core.

The Workflow Builder

This feature is the heart of the Justuno platform. All modular components - designs, visitor segments, coupons, and martech integrations - are managed independently, but are brought together in the workflow builder. The workflow builder creates the automation experience and it's here where the experience is published to a user's website. Users are able to select design templates, edit them, configure coupon codes and third party app integrations, and manage if/then conditions and segments all from the builder, providing a unified focal point of the product.

The "why": users consistently shared feedback about wanting to visualize all the pop ups on their websites. Additionally, we observed that most users concurrently used marketing automation software, and would likely be familiar with a workflow builder.

Designing For Each Persona

Creating scalability in the app to accommodate our three main user personas has proven to be one of the most challenging parts of this product design, from how sophisticated the design studio should be to designing the team roles and Admin hub features. The resulting design choices were two-fold: create all the functionality for the Justuno product to scale to the needs of enterprise teams and agencies, as well as provide guidance, templates, and "smart" features to put SMB customers at ease in our product - similar to an automatic transmission car that also offers a manual shifting mode.

Designing The Core Products

Much of the navigation through the app utilizes full screen overlays over the main "base" viewport , allowing users to quickly access other relevant sections of the app without losing their place in the current section they are working on. Overlay sections include account settings, asset library and brand kit, integrations, and more. A great example of this is the workflow builder, where all components of the app come together to publish experiences onto a website. The design studio, discounts section and integrations panel all needed to be accessible while building a workflow, which the full screen overlay model accounts for elegantly.

Impact
We were a team of two designers that created the entire product concept. Started product research and analysis from current users, created documentation for product, development, and user-facing teams.
Worked with all alpha and beta testers, gathered qualitative and quantitative feedback, and iterated on the product design with input from product and development teams.
