Problem Statement

  • Challenges: Nan Yi Chun Acupuncture, despite its commendable 15-year track record and high praise on platforms such as Yelp, City Search, and Google, faces a significant hurdle with its outdated website. This has led to a subpar user experience, lackluster content quality, and an unappealing design.

  • Impact: The antiquated website design and content are major barriers to converting website visitors into new patients. This not only affects the clinic's ability to expand its patient base but also limits its online growth and presence in the competitive New York City market.

  • Solution: By undertaking a comprehensive website overhaul, there's a substantial opportunity to enhance the user experience, enrich the content, and improve the overall aesthetic appeal. The primary objective of this modernization effort is to transform website visitors into patients, thereby elevating Nan Yi Chun Acupuncture's online visibility and reinforcing its reputation as a leading provider of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in NYC.

Business Goals

  • Upgrade Website: Modernize the design for better navigation and mobile responsiveness, incorporating SEO-optimized educational content.

  • Boost Online Visibility: Utilize local SEO and encourage patient reviews to improve search rankings and build trust.

  • Enhance First-Time Patient Experience: Implement a streamlined online booking system and offer introductory promotions to encourage first-time visits.

 

UX Goals

  • Improve Navigation and Accessibility: Design an intuitive, user-friendly interface that ensures easy navigation and accessibility on both desktop and mobile platforms.

  • Enhance Content Engagement: Deliver compelling, SEO-optimized educational content that engages users, addressing their needs and questions about acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

  • Increase New Patient Acquisition: Enhance the website with testimonials, detailed benefits of treatments, and clear insurance information to build trust and encourage new patients to choose the clinic.

Success Metrics

  • Online Appointment Growth: Achieved a 15% to 20% increase in online bookings post-redesign, indicating enhanced user engagement and website effectiveness.

  • Stakeholder Satisfaction: Stakeholders reported high satisfaction with the site's new look and functionality, signifying positive reception and alignment with business objectives.

  • Patient Satisfaction: Patients expressed greater satisfaction with the website post-redesign, highlighting improved user experience and accessibility.

  • Performance Metrics: Notable improvements in website performance metrics such as load time, bounce rate, and conversion rates, demonstrating the technical success of the redesign.

Research

To inform our approach, we'll assess local acupuncture practices' websites, analyze online reviews (Yelp, Google, ZocDoc) for audience insights, and conduct user interviews for a comprehensive understanding of needs, goals, and website-related issues.

Competitor Analysis

Conduct a comprehensive competitor analysis by evaluating the websites of three nearby boutique acupuncture practices within walking distance of Nan Yi's office, assessing and comparing their content, navigation, features, design, and overall user experience.

  • Mobile-unfriendly website design with too many menu items, confusing navigation, a long-scrolling layout lacking a clear call to action (CTA), and slow loading time for the home page

  • Confusing navigation and hierarchy.

  • Unfriendly mobile design with excessive menu items, unclear navigation, lengthy scrolling, slow home page loading.

  • Unattractive UI design: subpar color choice, typography, font size, and overused stock photos.
