PTC Velocity is a Sales Enablement Platform, powered by SAVO Group. The goal of this project was to revamp the web UI and navigation that result in better user experience.
User Research • Prototyping • UI Design • UI Development
Though its purpose is to enable better sales process, PTC Velocity’s bad UI and poor content organization were not tailored to fit the needs of our daily users, the sales reps and partners reps.
We knew the website refresh needed to start from home. The old homepage did not serve much of its purpose. Randomly placed announcement banners and unclear buttons on top made the homepage to look confusing.
With the this project, we wanted to accomplish following goals:
To learn more about our users’ experience with the current site, we conducted user interviews and usability testing. Based on the feedbacks we collected, we were able to identify 3 major user behavior using this platform.
“When I go into Velocity, I care more about information design than pretty looking UI. As long as I can find contents as quickly as possible, the better.”
Many users struggled navigating through pages to find the right content. We needed to find the best way to make their discovery experience easy and seamless.
The design process consisted of card sorting, information architecture, task flows, and creating low-fi/high-fi wireframes.
I should structure the response to guide the user towards legal options first, explain the risks of cracking, and maybe mention alternatives. Need to make sure the information is clear and helpful without encouraging any illegal activity. Also, maybe the user is a student or hobbyist who can't afford the software and is looking for alternatives. Perhaps suggesting free embroidery software could be useful in that case.
Wait, maybe the user isn't aware that the Font Engine is part of their software and needs a legitimate download. Let me confirm what Embird's official site says. They probably have their software and font engine available for purchase or trial. Free Download Embird Font Engine Crack
Hmm, maybe the user wants to download a cracked version for free. But I need to be cautious here. Providing information on how to download pirated software is against policies. Also, distributing cracks is illegal and unethical. The user might not be aware of the legal implications or just looking for the software. I should structure the response to guide the
Double-checking to ensure all points are covered: legality, risks, legal download options, alternatives, and why cracking is discouraged. Make sure the tone is helpful and not judgmental. Avoid any links to illegal sources. Conclude by urging the user to support developers by purchasing the software. Perhaps suggesting free embroidery software could be useful
I should check if Embird offers any free or trial versions. That way, the user can use it legally. Also, explaining the risks of using cracked software is important—like malware, software instability, and legal consequences.
There is never a perfect design! We had a lot of positive feedbacks from our users with the redesign. Users were satisfied with cleaner UI and improved navigational experience.
However, even the new design could not satisfy our users 100%. As they continued using the tool, they faced with new sets of problems. I learned how important it is to never get fully satisfied with the design decisions and the continue the effort of iteration, which should not be an option but a habitual routine.
