There is so much to improve in the cloud storage space. The user experience is competitive in both the consumer and business marketplace. Ferrari Fitness wants to give the fitness industry a solution that will focus on Personal Trainers and their Clients and allow them flexibility in their fitness training and nutrition programs.
Cloud users want a storage solution that has a focus. Fitness professionals have
problems with the current cloud
storage technologies because they are not catered to meet their needs.

The Process of our design began with understanding the market and our potential end-users. We conducted User Surveys and Competitive Analysis to ensure our solution will satisfy our stakeholders. Below are some of the results from our interviews and surveys.
63.2% of users stated a fitness cloud storage app would be useful for their lives.
84.2% of users have not used a cloud storage app for their fitness needs. This lets us know there is a clear untapped market potential for our app.
Google was the most common app used with 89.5% of users having tried the cloud storage app
61.1% of users stated Google Drive was their favorite app to use

In order to succeed in the cloud storage space, Ferrari Fitness would have to
create a
niche market. Google is the
dominant player in the market, but they have a huge flaw. Google can get very cluttered and has a broad
focus.

Once we concluded the Discovery phase we felt comfortable to move on to the Information Architecture phase. Below are the deliverables created.

We prioritized the creation and modification of Fitness Plans for Personal Trainers

During low-fi testing over 76% of users had an easy time navigating the prototypes

We decided we needed the call to action button to be above the fold to make it easier for the user to see
For branding, we started off with mind mapping and hand-drawn sketches for the logo. Ferrari means "blacksmith" in Italian and is similar to the founders name "Faraz".
The Logo Design took many iterations for us to come to a finalized solution. After testing the logo with users we decided that the final logo was the most easily readable by users and kept an aesthetic feel Ferrari Fitness was looking for. The logo looks like a bull it represents the growth and the bullish drive needed to stick to a fitness program.
Once we conducted our research we felt comfortable to move on to the Information Architecture phase

During Hi-Fi testing we found 80% of users were able to use the prototype with ease. So we felt
comfortable in moving forward with our design.

During testing, users had trouble finding the sign-up button on the original design because it was below
the fold. We adjusted that and added some additional changes for our users. 86.7% of users preferred the
finalized landing page over the original design.

Users felt the original pictures describing the product did not match the theme of the site. 92.7% of users
preferred the new pictures.

The footer of the landing page was adjusted after user feedback stating it was not appealing and hard to
read. 96.8% of users preferred the new pictures.

During testing users also described how they wanted to see client testimonials, so we added that to our final
design.
We started off with two hero images then we decided one was enough. We increased the real estate of the image, rearranged the logo, and made the call-to-action button appear above the fold.
For the Fitness Program, we realized the blue boxes created an illusion grid that was hard on the eyes on users. We decided longer columns were going to be easier on the eyes and allowed for more text to be visible.
For the prices, we decided to put the price packages on a card that will be easily readable for the users. We also cleaned up the footer so that users can reach our social media icons more easily.
User Testing provided essential feedback on what to change going forward. Figma is a great designtool to use if working on non-Mac devices,but Sketch is still superior. Maze is a great way to do A/B and preference testing to get metrics for design.
Trying to work with Sketch when you have to work across different on Windows and Mac computers. To solve this we used Figma as well.
Test early and often. Use Figma if working across various OS systems. Ensure the design is readable to all users. Something may seem easy to read for the designer, but after testing, we can see what is the truth.
