EnBW UX Audit & Conversion-Boosting UX Strategy Explore project

EnBW UX Audit & Conversion-Boosting UX Strategy

EnBW offers electricity, gas, and telecommunications contracts online. Their official website serves as a disambiguation page into several distinct flows and platforms, each featuring slightly different designs and interaction paradigms. The UX audit focused on landing pages and two exemplary checkout flows to identify potential issues customers might encounter when selecting an electricity plan online. By examining user journeys, affordances, and content structure, three key areas with potential for improvement were identified:

  1. Structure
  2. Interaction
  3. UI design

The findings were categorized and compiled into actionable recommendations for both immediate and long-term enhancements, which were provided in comprehensive documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions Link to this headline

  1. Was ist ein UX Audit – und warum ist es für mein Unternehmen relevant?

    Ein UX Audit ist eine strukturierte Analyse Ihrer digitalen Produkte – sei es eine Website, Webanwendung oder App – mit dem Ziel, Usability-Probleme, Designinkonsistenzen und Barrieren für Nutzer:innen zu identifizieren. Es hilft dabei, die Nutzererfahrung zu verbessern, Conversion-Raten zu steigern und Support-Anfragen zu reduzieren. Gerade für mittelständische Unternehmen ist ein UX Audit ein effektives Mittel, um digitale Produkte gezielt zu optimieren und sich im Wettbewerb zu differenzieren.

  2. Wann ist der richtige Zeitpunkt für ein UX Audit?

    Ein UX Audit empfiehlt sich besonders, wenn:

    • die Conversion-Raten hinter den Erwartungen zurückbleiben,
    • Nutzer:innen Prozesse abbrechen oder sich über die Bedienung beschweren,
    • Support-Anfragen zu einfachen Funktionen zunehmen,
    • ein Relaunch oder neue Features geplant sind,
    • digitale Entscheidungen häufig auf Bauchgefühl basieren.

    Kurz: Wenn Sie das Gefühl haben, Ihre digitale Lösung könnte besser funktionieren – dann ist jetzt der richtige Zeitpunkt.

  3. Was unterscheidet Dinghy von anderen UX-Dienstleistern?

    Wir liefern keine überladenen PDFs, sondern fokussierte, praxisrelevante Ergebnisse. Wir sprechen Klartext, priorisieren nach Business-Impact und arbeiten eng mit Ihrem Team zusammen. Unsere Kund:innen schätzen die Zusammenarbeit auf Augenhöhe – ohne Agentur-Gedöns, mit echter Wirkung.

  4. Was kostet ein UX Audit – und wie finde ich das passende Paket?

    Die Kosten richten sich nach Projektumfang und Anforderungen. Wir bieten skalierbare Pakete – von kompakten Audits bis zu tiefgehenden Analysen inkl. Usability-Tests und Marktrecherche. In einem kurzen Erstgespräch finden wir gemeinsam heraus, was für Ihr Vorhaben sinnvoll ist.

  5. Unterstützt ihr uns auch bei der Umsetzung der UX-Empfehlungen?

    Absolut! Unsere UX/UI-Designer:innen stehen bereit, um auf Basis der Audit-Ergebnisse neue, bessere Lösungen zu gestalten. Wir entwickeln klickbare Prototypen, testen diese mit echten Nutzer:innen und iterieren so lange, bis das Design sitzt. Das Ergebnis: validierte UX-Konzepte, die Ihr Team direkt umsetzen kann – und Ihre Nutzer:innen lieben werden.

  6. Was sind die konkreten Ergebnisse eines UX Audits?

    Sie erhalten:

    • eine fundierte Analyse der Nutzererfahrung,
    • eine priorisierte Liste an UX-Problemen,
    • klare Empfehlungen zur Optimierung,
    • eine Roadmap mit Quick Wins und strategischen Maßnahmen.

    Die Ergebnisse sind konkret, umsetzbar und auf Ihre Geschäftsziele abgestimmt.

  7. Was versteckt sich hinter der Dinghy Garantie?

    Wenn die vorgeschlagenen Verbesserungen nach sechs Monaten ordnungsgemäßer Umsetzung keine spürbaren Ergebnisse bringen, arbeiten wir weiter mit Ihnen zusammen – so lange, bis sich der Erfolg einstellt.
