Modernizing WRAP’s Website
Through Expert UX Audit

WRAP-Users-Persona-Ecosystem-1

WRAP, an NGO specializing in waste management, aimed to enhance its global image and website usability. In preparation for their website redesign in July 2024, WRAP decided to use a data-driven approach with an expert UX audit.

Axelerant partnered with WRAP to conduct the UX audit. The aim was to ensure WRAP's website revamp and rebranding aligned with its evolving global focus. The detailed insights from the audit would serve as the foundation for the website redesign, and make the website into a global hub for circular living.

The Problem

Limited Global Brand Awareness And Website Usability

WRAP wanted their new site to inspire audiences, encourage change, attract investments and new business, meet user needs with relevant content and resources, and clearly articulate the organization’s mission and activities. They faced significant challenges such as:

 

  • Ineffective communication of WRAP's products and services
  • Lack of lead generation capabilities
  • Missing data-driven approach to identify and meet business and user needs
  • Limited global reach and poor alignment with WRAP's evolving global focus
  • Inadequate accessibility and inclusivity for the users
  • Need for a comprehensive content strategy

The Solution

A Comprehensive Expert UX Audit

By conducting a comprehensive audit and delivering actionable recommendations, Axelerant enabled WRAP to lay the foundation of a seamless user experience for its diverse, global audience.

 

  • Audit Aligned With The Agreed Deliverables: By collaborating closely with WRAP, Axelerant aimed to identify the website’s target audience and business and user needs. We did this through extensive internal and user research, delving deep into WRAP’s existing audience, understanding their behaviors, and how they interacted with the site.
  • Detailed Research: Axelerant sought to uncover opportunities enabling the target audience to self-serve and enhance their overall experience. This was critical in determining how effectively the current website communicated WRAP's diverse offerings, including Voluntary Agreements, Policy Development, Insight and Research, Technical Support, and Citizen Behavior Change.
  • Several Areas of Improvement: To boost the website's lead generation capabilities, especially for Voluntary Agreements and new investments, Axelerant identified key opportunities.
  • Content Strategy: Axelerant recommended ‘always-on’ content and a robust content marketing approach to keep WRAP’s audiences engaged and informed and to ensure that the website resonated with international audiences.
  • Inclusivity And Accessibility Recommendations: Axelerant emphasized the importance of an accessible website, ensuring that WRAP’s mission and resources are available to everyone, regardless of their abilities.

 

Axelerant's approach included:

 

  • Heuristic Analysis: We evaluated website usability against design principles, recommending layout changes for clarity and engagement. Consistency in terminology, navigation, and design was advised throughout the project.
  • Expert UX Design Audit: We recommended steps to assess and improve user experience. We also identified areas for information architecture enhancement to showcase WRAP's impact, proposing a restructured menu and personalized user journeys.
  • User Journey Mapping: We mapped user paths for easy navigation and content discovery, suggesting proactive strategies to attract new business. We also recommended promoting existing resources, showcasing success stories, and highlighting global reach with personalization and compliance considerations.
  • Competitor Analysis: We benchmarked WRAP against competitors, proposing multi-lingual support and country-specific content for global leadership.
