What’s the problem?
What’s the opportunity?
Today restaurant owners are too busy to think of new ways to increase their revenue - thousands of reports that are difficult to process, lack of performance information, and no single data source.
Our goals for this project were to:
- Improve operational efficiency
- Increase compliance rate
- Appeal to potential new customers
My research process
Desk research
Even though I have done dashboard design in the past, I always find something new in resources like Medium or UX Planet. There are always fresh, more convenient, and functional solutions that need to be taken into account.
Among the many articles on this topic, I would like to highlight the following that gave me a great deal of information:
Market research
During my competitive analysis, I discovered many compliance management tools such as NetVendor, SmartCompliance, Enterprise Risk Control, etc. However, none of them offered the comprehensive solution our users were asking for — automatic and easy to understand data visualization.
Given the lack of innovation in the property technology market, I got inspiration from more modern services like Zendesk and Mixpanel — in search of the perfect dashboard.
SmartCompliance
Enterprise Risk Control
Checkr
NetVendor
Key takeaways:
- The compliance status rate should be shown at two levels - overall and by property
- The collection and compliance rate should be added to the top of the dashboard page
- Property managers should be able to filter compliance rate by property and status
- Expiration month of COIs should be tracked
- Down the line, it’s worth considering dividing the dashboard into tabs
Mini personas

- Minimize liability

Final UI design
“Required attention”
“Compliance status overview”
“Status changes overtime”
The final design
After all the iterations, I ended up removing the "Collected COI vs. Awaiting" widget and slightly reorganized the dashboard to better highlight important metrics.
High-fidelity wireframe
Skeleton loader
Since it takes time to load such a massive amount of data on one page, I created an animated skeleton loader. It mimics the structure and look of the entire page and gives an idea regarding what kind of content is loading in each block.

What’s next?
- Tabs for better organization and structure
- More detailed KPIs for Expiration, Coverage and Geography
- Ability to export data

Since Seller Plus provides extended features to existing tools, we decided to add banners and locked elements on the relevant pages for sellers and get additional attention to the program.
Analytics page
Seller’s flow
Each entry point in the sellers' interface, as well as the email, leads to the Seller Plus landing page. Clicking on any button on the landing page takes the users to a redesigned payment page, where they can pay for the program with Fiverr Balance or add a credit card details.

After successful payment, the users get access to the program page where they can do the following:
- Choose a manager relevant to the seller's business category and set up an online meeting with him, where they can together create a plan for developing the seller's business.
- Manage coupons and send them to new and repeat buyers.
- Analyze the gigs conversion, track advanced order statistics, and also see what keywords buyers use to find the seller's gig.
- Participate in private events such as webinars and workshops available only to program members.
- Watch videos and read articles created exclusively for the Seller plus program.

The program allows you to unsubscribe at any time.

What’s the opportunity?
Today restaurant owners are too busy to think of new ways to increase their revenue - thousands of reports that are difficult to process, lack of performance information, and no single data source.
What data supports this?
- Customer Success Manager (CSM) user interviews
- Comparison to other analytical dashboards
- Basic means of success on Fiverr that sellers are not aware of, e.g. pricing and metadata.
What is the hypothesis?
If we provide an analytical dashboard where sellers can see opportunities for improvement, in combination with coaching by CSMs, we will see better performance in the marketplace in terms of quality and orders.
How will we measure success?
- Usability of the feature
- Retention in Seller Plus program
- Improvement in performance
Dashboard architecture
💰 Business analytics
Seller statistics compared to the selected group (%). Create FOMO, show how much more I can make. Drive people to action.
📊 Traffic analytics
Show different funnels and programs sellers get their orders from. Educate them how to improve their order funnel.
🔍 Keywords (Search)
Show trend in the subcategory so sellers can get more exposure. For Fiverr, the reason is to fill the right shelves in the marketplace.
All previously locked tabs become available after the user signs up for the program. Each tab contains filters for gigs, as well as a time interval (30-60-90 days). On the Gig performance page, the user gets information about the conversion rate, click-through rate, and a comparison with other sellers in the same business category.
Gig performance
Since Fiver has different channels and labels buyers use to find gigs, I've added relevant widgets to the Orders Breakdown page. If the seller does not have orders from some programs, this should motivate him to participate — for example, Promoted Gigs or Fiverr Business.
Orders breakdown
The third tab, available to Seller Plus members, shows the top key search terms for which users find the seller's gig. For each keyword, the seller can see the number of impressions, clicks, orders, conversion rate, and revenue.
Top keywords
Finally, I updated the UI for the existing homepage in addition to the new analytics categories. I changed and simplified the logic of the Overview widget, added a few filters, and updated the colors so that all the analytics pages look and feel in the same style as the new branding.

Why redesign?
Today restaurant owners are too busy to think of new ways to increase their revenue - thousands of reports that are difficult to process, lack of performance information, and no single data source.
Goals for this project:
Messaging
Refine messaging to be more in aligned with our values and benefits.
New Pages
Create new pages that are relevant for ICP prospects that might be browsing.
Look & Feel
Refresh the look and feel in accordance with the new brand guidelines.
My design process
Based on the audience research conducted for the website, we have identified several key areas of improvement for our content strategy. Using this information, we have created a content strategy that focuses on producing high-quality, engaging content that meets the needs and interests of our target audience.
Site map
After finalizing the content strategy and new information architecture, our next step was to create wireframes that mapped out the structure of each page for the MVP version of the project.
Wireframes
Design system
Once the wireframes have been created and edited, the next step was to start building the final user interface. The first thing I started with was a design system - a collection of reusable components that can be used throughout the website, ensuring consistency and efficiency in the design process.
I started with primitive elements such as colors, typography styles, buttons, and form fields. These elements were combined to create more complex components such as navigation menus, headers, and footers.
Foundation
Basic colors and typography styles, including headings, body text, lists, and more.
Images
Stylized images and other visual assets for website use.
Forms
Text and drop-down fields for getting the user input.
Cards
Surfaces that display content and actions on a single topic.
Navigation
Тop header navigation (mega menu).
Pages overview
After creating both the primitive elements and more complex structures, I began to assemble the components into pages.
Property managers
Construction
The Jones Network
Performance metrics
The new website is showcasing an improvement in the main KPIs like organic relevant traffic, visitor engagement, and the conversion rate.
Time on page
Тhe average visitor's time on the page increased by 15%
Bounce rate
The number of visitors who left the website after viewing only one page decreased by 10%
Conversion rate
The number of live demo requests on a website increased by 4%
Secondary conversions
The number of secondary conversionssuch as email submissions or downloads increased by 18%
