  1. Total Number of Members

Grow the total number of registered members to a target amount by the end of 2024.

  1. Registration Conversion Rate

Based on platform traffic and expected volume, we aim to increase the monthly registration conversion rate by a certain percentage.

Data-Driven Design

Researching

First, we reviewed user perceptions of Fugle based on past user interviews, App Store ratings, and NPS feedback. From this research, we identified two key features that our target audience appreciated the most about Fugle.

Customizable Dashboard for Investment

Unlike other Platform, Fugle offers a highly flexible, card-based layout that allows users to customize and organize their preferred investment indicators.

What Data Shows

According to GA data, a significant proportion of users leave the site after accessing Fugle's basic features. Additionally, a considerable number of users continue using the basic features without completing the registration conversion.


Looking at the device data, a significant proportion of users access the Fugle website via mobile browsers. Therefore, we have included mobile optimization as part of this improvement effort.

A/B Testing Experiments

To begin, we focused on the widely favored Watchlist feature by offering two test variations, aiming to determine which version generates higher sign-up conversions through user clicks.

Hypothesis

Design B will lead to a higher sign-up click-through rate compared to Design A.

Sample Size

10,000
users per group

Timeline

1
month for experiments

These are two different design versions:

Design A

Displays all features available after registration using text along with some icons.The features include Watchlist, Trading, custom charts, note-taking, etc.

We believe that this version has too much descriptive text, and users may not be able to fully experience the functionality's enjoyment through just the text.

Design B

Provides users with a basic functional watchlist where they can view and track their favorite stocks or investments, clearly indicating that users can unlock additional features for customization upon registration.

We believe this feature allows users to experience the value of the tracking function beforehand, thereby promoting higher registration conversion rates.

Experiments Result

According to GA tracking results, Version B had a 1.85% higher click-through rate compared to Version A, but the improvement was not significant. Additionally, the registration completion rate for users in Group B is relatively higher.

From this experiment, we learned that allowing users to experience the watchlist feature first as a way to drive registration is a reasonable design approach, but its impact is limited. This suggests that we may need to further optimize the registration incentives or explore other methods to improve conversion rates.

Final Version

Design B

Result

+1.85% Higher CTR

+0.72% Higher Registration Completion Rate

What we've learned?

The experiment has many variables that could affect the results, and sometimes the strategies we believe will lead to significant growth may not yield the expected results in practice. However, I believe that there are more and better design solutions for improving registration conversion, and I look forward to the opportunity to apply them to more products in the future.

It has been a truly valuable data-driven design experience! 😊

Minimize Registration Burden

We reduced the total number of registration steps, added social media login options, and optimized the visuals and copy to increase traffic to the registration page.

Register Steps

5 to 3 steps

Registration Entry Traffic

+3.6% /monthly

Learning

In addition to improving, we also considered all processes, including technical limitations.

Restricting Access for Non-members

We eventually adopted this more aggressive approach. Of course, we were also concerned that it might interrupt users who were actively using the features, so we adjusted the available time setting multiple times after careful consideration.

The Modal Motivated User Sign-up

We placed the Social Login Button higher up on the page to increase the proportion of social media registrations and shorten the registration time.

Watchlist Animation

Redesign

Qualitative Interviews and Requests

We revamped the interface for the most frequently used features, enhancing the user experience. Additionally, we conducted Qualitative Interviews to validate the design and ensure the updates truly meet user needs. The main features are:

Stock Trading Page

Problems

  1. The information layout is too cramped, making it prone to breaking on small devices.

  2. The overall information hierarchy is unclear, leading to poor readability.

  3. There is a lack of consistency and similarity principles, with some user feedback indicating confusion about the placement of certain elements.

Stock Details Page

Problems

  1. After adding US stocks, the original layout becomes too crowded, making it prone to breaking.

  2. The font size of the price change and percentage change is too small, making it hard to read.

What I've done in other Projects

These are the core skills I’ve built and key projects I worked on during my time at Fugle.

Creating Reusable Components

By understanding the purpose of each component, I create flexible variants and define key properties, enabling the design team to work more efficiently and consistently.

Prototyping and Testing

I created multiple high-fidelity, interactive prototypes for usability testing, allowing users to experience realistic interfaces before features went live.

Animation & illustration

I enjoy crafting smooth onboarding animations using LottieFiles, and I also bring basic graphic design skills to support visual consistency across different touchpoints.

Navigation Bar & Stock Usage

I designed flexible toggles for switching between pricing types, stock symbols, and other key data views. These components were not only useful for mockups but also helped the engineering team better understand data structures and logic.

I enjoy turning messy parts into clean, reusable systems!

Prototyping for Usability Testing

I created multiple high-fidelity, interactive prototypes for usability testing, allowing users to experience realistic interfaces before features went live.

Animations for Onboarding

In this project, I created an animation to introduce the new K-line interval feature, helping to increase user interest and encourage feature adoption.
