The Challenge

Our design team began by conducting user interviews and job shadowing sessions to understand how employees interacted with the OTA site during their daily workflows. Through this research, we discovered significant knowledge gaps around the technical language used—particularly with internal terminology such as ice packs, a core component of OTA updates. These knowledge gaps slowed workflows and led to frequent support requests.

User Research & Insights

Our team set out to design an FAQ page that would address the issues we uncovered. We facilitated brainstorming sessions and applied card sorting to organize content logically and ensure the FAQ was easy to navigate.

Information Gathering

Work with engineers to define technical terms and acronyms in plain language

Data Visualization

Include visual aids and infographics for more complex concepts

User Interviews

Address the most frequently asked questions identified in user interviews

We collaborated closely with the development team to verify technical accuracy and ensure all FAQ content aligned with internal standards. Usability testing validated that the new page significantly improved understanding and reduced user confusion around OTA terminology.
