What is a UX Audit? Link to this headline

A UX Audit uncovers challenges faced by users in your digital product and outlines actionable steps for improving the UX.

A UX Audit is a structured review of a website, web application, or mobile app to identify usability issues, design inconsistencies, and barriers to user engagement and conversions. The goal is to assess how users can effectively navigate, understand, and complete key actions of a digital product...

Why Conduct a UX Audit? Link to this headline

Digital transformation requires most businesses to adopt digital products as a hybrid or even primary portfolio extension.

The development and implementation of digital products is a long-term and costly investment. Shortcomings in the design or user experience are often not discovered until a product or new feature is launched.

The product’s success is depending on the ability of users to navigate a website, find important information and use key features. If you suspect this to not be the case, a UX Audit helps identify and resolve such issues.

Example slide of a UX audit presentation

  • Conversion rates are lower than expected

    If visitors aren’t signing up, purchasing, or engaging as intended, usability barriers might be the cause.

  • Customer support gets frequent requests

    Repeated issues, a high amount of inquiries indicate design flaws that hinder efficiency.

  • The product has grown in complexity

    As features and content expand, navigation and structure can become cluttered.

  • Users drop off before completing key actions

    High abandonment rates suggest frustration or confusion in the user journey.

  • A redesign, new feature or major update is planned

    Understanding existing pain points helps ensure improvements are effective rather than guesswork.

  • Unclear Brand Identity

    Inconsistent interactions create a fragmented experience, making it harder for visitors to connect with and remember a brand

EnBW UX Audit & Conversion-Boosting UX Strategy

EnBW offers electricity, gas, and telecommunications contracts online. Their official website serves as a disambiguation page into several distinct flows and platforms, each featuring slightly different designs and interaction paradigms. The UX audit focused on landing pages and two exemplary checkout flows to identify potential issues customers might encounter when selecting an electricity plan online. By examining user journeys, affordances, and content structure, three key areas with potential for improvement were identified:

  1. Structure
  2. Interaction

The findings were categorized and compiled into actionable recommendations for both immediate and long-term enhancements, which were provided in comprehensive documentation.
