Goals:

  • Wireframe the PDP, where most of the online purchases are finalized
  • Optimize the display of different “Content types” (e.g. product descriptions, specs, images and videos, up-sell & cross-sell sections)
  • Use wireframes to understand the context of the “Ratings and Reviews,” i.e. how the “Ratings and Reviews” section is related to other “content types” on the PDPs
  • Focus Mobile experience
  • Use wireframes to facilitate a VIP client workshop. Help clients understand value of the company’s ratings and reviews products and collect client feedback and expectations

Process:

  • Research work prior to wireframing:
    • Literature review to summarize existing findings (Baymard Institute Report & Nielsen Norman Group Report)
    • Analyze current PDPs of major e-commerce sites; understand design trend by industry
    • Determine major components of a PDP
  • Design PDP wireframes using Balsamiq

Client Workshop:

I printed the wireframes on paper and cut out each “content type” (e.g. product image, review summary, Q&A). In the client workshop, we asked client representatives to discuss and wireframe the “perfect PDP” that best addresses their needs. Here is the activity guide:

  1. Break out into groups
  2. Pick your presenter for readout
  3. Review shopping scenarios
  4. Use the “content types” provided to build your ideal PDP
  5. Discussions

The wireframing workshop was a huge success. In the first place, we received positive feedback from major participants for being able to demonstrate thought leadership in the ratings and reviews business.
