‍

My client is starting her own hair salon. She needed a new branding and visual identity. The vision of THE COCO CLUB is a new feel-good experience in the in the heart of Zurich.
Demanding customers should experience a new hairdressing experience and feel like they are at home.
A visit to THE COCO CLUB brings not only a new new look, but also a new feeling.

Time: Oct 2022
Goal: The goal was a minimalistic letter logo and a website

01 Starting the branding process - Building a brand

We started with strategy and defined the brand and it’s target audience. Since we were talking about a new company we started by defining the brand attributes and created a brand statement. Regarding the users I was happy to find out that the team has already been talking to their target audience and had a lot of insight so it was only a matter of consolidating the findings to form a user persona. Both of these documents guided our decisions during the rest of the project.

02 Research

The definition of user-centered quality goals as well as preparatory desk research helped me to plan the interview sensibly and to estimate the effort.

Persona & Customer Journey map

Taskflow

There is one main task flow. When you get to the homepage, you can directly book the appointment.

02 THE VISUAL STYLE

I wanted the website to be really minimalistic and clean. The client wish was it should show the same feeling as in the salon. In the salon are the main colors black, white, grey and beige.

FONT

COLORS

VISUAL ELEMENT

The logo that I created should show only the name of the brand. The focus is in its simplicity.
After the logo was complete I proceeded with designing the final landing page and user interface for desktop, tablet and mobile.

THE MID-FIDELITY PROTOTYPE

Out of the 3 landing page concepts I presented, #2 was chosen as the way forward. She liked the black concept because the focus was clearly on the information and the pictures.

03 Usability Testing

Participants
10 total test subjects
- 4 in person (2 female, 2 male)

Test Objectives
Determine the ease at which users can navigate through the website to accomplish their task, which will be to book an appointment.
Observe the path in which they took to get through to the booking screen
Test the overall ease of use of navigating
Observe any frustrations or obstacles users may have that may impede their ability to complete their task.

Test Summary
In Person/Remote Testing
- Users completed the task in under 5 minutes.
- High marks for ease of use.

04 Affinity maps

The affinity map activity gave way to some patterns and suggestions from the usability testing.

05 Next steps

My next steps would be to do another round of user testing with the changes I've implemented. After that, I'd do another round of affinity mapping and synthesizing of that data. I'd iterate until the flow was as smooth as it could be. Then I would package it all up and start develop the website.
