Tidy App

+262% increase in monthly signups in just 6 months

About

We've helped this small startup increase monthly signups by 262% within 6 months. They're a mobile application that let property owners or managers hire and schedule cleaners based in Montreal, Canada. The problem stakeholders (just the company owner and assistant) identified was a lower conversion rate from downloading the app to booking a service. The goal was to better understand why they were experiencing high drop-off rates during app enrollment, come up with redesign ideas and general UX guidance that might lower these drop-off rates while increasing usability. I was one of 3 UX Designers helping on this project contributing to the User Experience enhancements, while my peers also contributed to the UX writing and UI Visual Designs. The company has been rebranded to Cleanster.

Final Test Results

We chose to only conduct tests for ease of use and speed primarily due to time constraints, here are some key findings

  • Within a week of deploying some of our recommendations (removing the map, updating text descriptions and using familiar inputs) drop-offs have decreased by 7%, they have gradually incorporated the changes so it’s easier to keep track of the metric of each change
  • After 6 months the monthly signups have increased by over 262% after incorporating some of our recommendations and other updates
  • Tidy App Jan 2023 Metric

Pain Points

We utilized the stakeholders’ collected feedback heard from the clients as well as our analysis as a team to highlight some of the pain points before

  1. Sign-up is buried within formal registration process
    • Current
    • Tidy App Original Signup
    • Suggestion
    • Simplify the sign up form and leave the items that need more cognitive load for later in the process such as address entry, scheduling the service and making payment for afterwards.
    • Tidy App Suggested Signup
  2. Lack of guided onboarding process that walks new users through
    • Current
    • Tidy App Original Unguided
    • Suggestion
    • Add an introduction wizard that communicates the value of the platform and why they are signing up.
    • Tidy App Suggested Guided
  3. Some text was unclear and could be perceived as confusing
    • Current
    • Tidy App Original Text
    • Suggestion
    • Providing additional descriptions to ensure things could be understood for even a 1st grader

  4. Navigation wasn’t clear from screen to screen, where they are and how do they get back
    • Current
    • Tidy App Original Navigation
    • Suggestion

    • Tidy App Suggested Navigation
  5. Map wasn’t functional in the process
    • Current
    • Tidy App Original Map
    • Suggestion
