The Challenge
HCF’s existing quote flow suffered from high cognitive load and industry-heavy jargon, leading to significant drop-offs at the selection stage. Users felt overwhelmed by the technical distinction between 'Hospital' and 'Extras' covers, resulting in decision paralysis.
Ideation & Wireframing
• Mapped out the current vs. ideal user journeys. • Explored different flow structures to reduce friction. • Designed wireframes focusing on clarity, hierarchy, and decision support.
Validating the Journey
With the flow architecture defined and key screens wireframed, we moved into mid-fidelity prototyping in Figma. I built a fully interactive end-to-end prototype of the quote journey, simulating real user interactions across both desktop and mobile breakpoints. This allowed us to pressure-test the experience before any development investment, surfacing edge cases and interaction nuances that static wireframes alone wouldn't have revealed.
