Improving Debenhams’ insurance website experience to increase sales

*

The brief

Identify problems and suggest improvements to the Debenhams wedding insurance website. Deliver these changes alongside an updated design and new front-end.

What we did

Based on our analysis, we built a clickable, HTML prototype which included the following upgrades:

  • A cover level comparison table
  • Standout call to actions (e.g. “Get a quote” and “Buy now” buttons)
  • Customer feedback and star ratings
  • An improved mobile experience

Debenhams used the prototype to sign off the changes before we implemented them.

Results

  • The number of sales increased when compared to the same period the previous year
  • The speed, accessibility and search performance of the website improved
  • Live in under two months

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a prototype is worth 1,000 meetings.
