After nine years, MyCaptain underwent a brand refresh, shifting from explore to PRO courses with a focus on helping students secure placements in their desired fields.


In need of a playful yet professional brand update, we sought a quirky identity that resonated with students, instilling confidence in our PRO courses' placement potential. Recognizing their resistance to change, we aimed for a flexible brand that could evolve with our initiatives.



I was the sole designer who owned this project and worked on it from start to finish. But I did collaborate with a lot of other people for this project.

1.Product Managers:To understand the whole scope of the project and its requirements. There were a lot of new things we were introducing like the dashboard and revamping a few of the existing flows such as the schedule and database.


2.Head of design and Stack holders: For this project i closely work with Shai krishna(Ex-head of product Mycaptain) & Mohammed Zeeshan(CEO ot mycaptain) To get timely feedback on my designs and the design direction.


3.Engineers: Cooperation with engineers was essential to guarantee the faithful execution of the design. This collaboration ensured that the final output matched the design precisely.

PROBLEM

Currently, more than 90% of our visitors originate from advertising alone. Owing to limited engagement, we haven't focused on enhancing or developing additional functionalities for the site.

Currently, more than 90% of our visitors originate from advertising alone. Owing to limited engagement, we haven't focused on enhancing or developing additional functionalities for the site.

Decline in User Engagement

The decrease in user engagement, impacting return visits, and crucial word-of-mouth recommendations for organic growth.

Poor Navigation Structure

Finding core content was a real headache. Important things were hidden, and the menus were all over the place

Lack of Mobile Optimization

The website's lack of mobile optimization is a big miss, it looks terrible and is hard to use on phones and tablets

Outdated Design Aesthetics

The site has issues with outdated design, navigation, leading to decreased user involvement and client satisfaction, impacting the organization's growth and industry standing.

GOAL

Unified Design Language

We aimed to create a unified design system, including typography, color styles, and component to express our brand identity.

Optimize Conversion Rates

Implement clear call-to-action (CTA) buttons to improve conversion rates on key landing pages. Integrate user-friendly forms to improve the lead abandonment by 10%.

Integrate Multimedia Content

A static images is not enough to convey the story, So, we introduce Lottiefiles across the website to convey the story. Increase user interactions with multimedia content by 70-30% to create a more dynamic and memorable user experience.

IMPACT

Hurray, we unveiled the landing page in Aug, 2023! Due to privacy concerns, I've left out the specific figures for these measures.

As soon as it launched, we instantly observed a 70% bounce rate for our ad, in contrast to the previous site. After 50 days of being live, we experienced a ≈65% decrease in the bounce rate

HOW ITS STARTS

We started by looking at competitor websites and collecting ideas. This helped us decide which sections were most important for our own site, based on what users seemed to pay attention to on other platforms

Once we finalized the structure, the next step was to figure out what we should prioritize for our users. Then we prioritized the structure by focusing on three key things that matter most to our users

Low - fid wireframe

Our first draft focused on a mobile-first approach to ensure smooth, easy access and seamless navigation. We also used intuitive visual cues to guide users effortlessly through the website

Wireframe

Here’s a look at the early wireframes. On the left, we mapped out the purpose of each section to align with our design decisions. The main goal was to guide users toward filling out the forms.

Some more variation

These are some initial concepts into detailed visuals. Experimenting with various hues and concept and arrangements. However, it still missing something, so we persistently polished these designs.

User testing

To obtain unbiased feedback from potential users, I conducted user tests with 5 individuals outside of MyCaptain using Maze's Survey tool.

Analyzing the heatmap revealed 60% of users scroll to the landing page bottom, raising concerns about overlooked elements. Targeted surveys, done anonymously, provided unbiased feedback, confirming users understood the core concept.

FINAL RESULT

Strong social Proof

Animation

I designed all the animations using Lottie, And Some of my animations were even featured as 'Pick of the Week' by the official LottieFiles creators.
