Macy's Website is an online retail interface that allows customers to browse and buy the products offered by Macy's. The website was redesigned in response to customer feedback, resulting in a clean and simple layout inspired by fashion media and consumer technology products. Responsive web technologies allow access through laptop computers, tablets and smartphones. Extensive research guided the work, including user surveys, interviews, A/B testing and usability testing. The simpler structure streamlines the purchase process and improved user engagement.
