Solution

I redesigned the game page with a strong focus on video, as both data and user interviews confirmed it was the core element of the experience. Key improvements included:

Enhancing the video experience: The game overview was streamlined, with its features repositioned to reduce clutter and prevent UI elements from overlapping the video.

Introducing a scalable tab system: This created a more structured, future-proof navigation model, ensuring consistency not only on the game page but across the platform.

Prioritizing mobile usability: Mobile design was elevated from an afterthought to a key focus, dramatically improving the experience for users on smaller screens.

The Challenge

What started as a small design tweak quickly turned into a full overhaul of the game page. As we delved deeper, we uncovered several critical usability issues:

1. The hierarchy wasn’t intuitive, making it difficult for users to navigate.

2. Navigation was inconsistent, leading to confusion.

3. UI elements lacked synchronization, creating a fragmented experience.

4. The mobile experience had significant usability challenges.

Scope

Initially, the goal was to make a minor adjustment, but as we analyzed the page further, it became clear that a more comprehensive redesign was needed. The game page wasn’t just an isolated issue – many of its challenges reflected broader platform-wide inconsistencies. This project, therefore, became a guiding star for how the platform could evolve moving forward.

1. Analysing the hierarchy

Heatmap (clicks) showing few click on top UI element
Heatmap (scroll) only 60% getting to video element
Heatmap (clicks) showing more click on video element and teamsheet
What if we could change the hierarchy?

2. Inconsistent navigation

Inconsistent navigation: Horizontal scrolling (before)
Inconsistent navigation: Tabs (before)
Consistent navigation: nested tabs (after)

3. Focus on mobile experience

The Impact

The new game page is now in production, and the redesign has been a turning point for the organization. It has demonstrated the value of data-driven and user-centered design, influencing how future platform iterations are approached. The company is shifting from a fragmented approach to a more structured and strategic way of improving the product.
