Key achievement

By redesigning the product's key feature, I contributed to increasing a crucial metric: the number of appointments made. The updated booking page now meets modern standards, catering to both mobile and desktop users. Additionally, revamping the gallery system resulted in a significant increase in usage, with a 65% higher adoption rate.

My role

My primary responsibility was a comprehensive redesign of the booking page for both desktop and mobile web.

This included all steps in the process: booking flow, settings, edit mode, payments, and rescheduling.

Key goals were:

  • A new, customizable booking page,
  • Highlight the customer brand,
  • Deliver an excellent experience across devices, focusing on mobile users.

I was the sole product designer for this project, collaborating with management, product managers, business analysts, developers, and QAs.

My approach

When choosing methods and tools to assess the product and project, my goal was to empathize and understand its flaws from both user and business perspectives.

By pinpointing issues and pain points, I've uncovered areas for improvement and gathered insights into mechanics and problems. I identified quick wins and proposed product ideas for future releases.

I explored various designs to find the perfect one for the next stages of the product design cycle. I also worked on UI interactions to enhance the final product's appeal.

Initial testing and user feedback yielded optimistic results, advancing the project to the next level.

User research

In conducting user research for the project, I used a multifaceted approach to fully understand user needs and stakeholder requirements.

The core of this research was in-depth user interviews, which allowed direct engagement with our user base. These interviews offered qualitative insights into user experiences, pain points, and expectations, forming a basis for decision-making.

I recognized the importance of stakeholder perspectives and conducted interviews to align the project with organizational goals. Insights from internal stakeholders helped create a strategy that met user needs and aligned with business objectives.

By grouping recurring insights from various sources (Feedbear, interviews, customer support, TrustPilot), I identified themes and patterns. This allowed me to prioritise key factors users consider when dealing with the booking page issue.

Deliverables

The previous version suffered from dense layouts and competing visual weights. I reduced cognitive load by introducing more breathing room, simplifying typography, and clarifying action flows. In the booking experience, for example, I prioritized upcoming appointments and user actions over account-level detail — creating a cleaner, task-focused experience.

I also improved accessibility and responsiveness, ensuring components performed well in both high-contrast and small-screen environments.

The research has also left no doubts – we needed to provide customers with the highly requested feature: the edit mode for booking pages.

Edit mode

There was designed a simple editor with the possibility for further expansion. The benefit is that customers will be able to make custom adjustments that will be reflected throughout the layout of their page.

The outcome is better alignment with the customer’s brand, allowing them to use this as an additional channel of communication without harm to their brand. For the business, it means higher retention and a better position in the competitive landscape.

Before and after

The previous booking pages had strong fundamentals but suffered from outdated UX patterns and unclear transitions — especially on mobile, where over 80% of our traffic originates. Information architecture was inconsistent, key actions lacked visibility, and core flows (like starting a booking) created friction and user hesitation.

Through a comprehensive redesign, I restructured the booking experience with a mobile-first lens and a more modular, scalable component system. Key improvements included:

  • A smoother transition from booking page → booking flow, reducing user drop-off,
  • A redesigned gallery, map, and sticky header for clearer navigation and visual structure,
  • A new floating “Book” button and persistent navigation for quicker access to key actions,
  • Login support for customers, enabling rescheduling and cancellation,
  • Standardized spacing, typography, and link conventions to improve consistency,
  • New UI patterns like horizontal scroll for team members and reviews, placeholder imagery for accounts without cover photos, and square grid layout for visual harmony.

These updates not only improved usability and perceived quality, but laid the groundwork for future customization — including brandable booking page templates and user-controlled visual styling. With optimized front-end logic, Setmore can now ship new themes in days, not weeks — a foundational shift in how the platform evolves.

Templates

Through interviews, user feedback submitted via our Feedbear platform, and competitive analysis, we discovered that many customers wanted ready-to-use booking page templates. This need was especially clear among users without design expertise, and stood out as a missed opportunity — since only a few competitors currently offer any meaningful customization support.

Developers handoff

I believe the difference between good and great lies in the details. That's why I prefer close collaboration with developers, ensuring they fully understand my intentions.

In addition to Figma designs, I also provided:

  • Annotations (before they became a native Figma’s feature),
  • Flows,
  • States,
  • Specs (if more detailed are needed),
  • Video animations (supported with After Effects).

Design system

I also played a role in developing the company's design system, named the Earth Design System. The project I led was the first in the company to fully integrate the design system, pioneering its usage.

Outcomes

In general, the initial response among the first testing group of 500 customers was positive. Another round of user interviews and usability sessions revealed the need for some minor tweaks.

The new version was released in late 2024 and is available online ↗
