Re-engineering from scratch        


Problem
The 2007 South African Airways site neededed an overhaul. The interface was cluttered, confusing, and hard to use.

  • The interface was crowded
  • The site's branding was obsolete
  • Online booking, My Booking management, Business travel, and Voyager Air miles were split into disparate sub sites with incongruent interfaces
  • Online bookings were at 8% of all bookings made
 


Solution
Starting with pencil and paper, We re-designed the site from the ground up.

The following steps were taken, and our findings documented in an understandable, informative framework.

  • User Scenarios
  • Task Analyses (eg Booking process)
  • Interaction Models
  • Information Architectures
  • Wireframes
  • Prototypes
  • User testing
 


Results | visit the site
The previous steps resulted in a fresh, simpler, far easier to use interface.

  • We removed all unnecessary gumpf out of the interface
  • The new site's branding was updated
  • Online booking, My Booking management, Business travel, and Voyager Air miles were consolidated into one interface
  • Online bookings went up 300% in the first week of launching the new site
