About

British Telecom's business website struggled with clarity issues, causing high call center volume and missed sales opportunities. With no clear requirements, the team needed to define the project scope while working within BT's brand framework.

Discovery

Once the team joined the project, they conducted in-depth user interviews and analyzed call center data to identify key pain points:

  • Information Overload — users overwhelmed by technical jargon.
  • Unclear Pathways — disjointed journey from learning to purchasing.
  • Support Dependency — frequent reliance on call center assistance.

Process

  • Requirements gathering
  • In-depth user interviews
  • Ideation — wireframes / prototype creation
  • Usability testing
  • Results analysis / prioritisation
  • UI delivery + guidelines
  • Contribution to the Design Library

Design Approach

As a team of two designers, they advocated for a Design Foundation Approach with a two-sprint buffer before development, allowing thorough research and testing of multiple concepts.
