User-oriented design and simplicity are indispensable today. It is one of the most determining factors in competition. Our most important goal in this study was to listen to the needs of the user and the customer, to make his life easier while entering an advertisement in the Hürriyet Emlak Corporate section and to follow his work, and to determine the design and user experience accordingly. This study also enabled us to get to know our corporate customer profile. Now we know the needs very well and design the user experience accordingly.

Simple is Difficult

Simplicity is difficult, requires editing and effort. To design usable products, to develop products that meet their needs and provide ease of use by understanding their users.
While developing a product, many features are added to the error that the more features there are in the product, the better it will be. All added features are considered vital to the use of the product.

The product, which offers so many features, becomes unable to fully meet even the most important user needs that it must basically meet.

Companies that want to offer better solutions to their users attach importance to evaluating their existing products according to usability criteria and user feedback in order to overcome such problems

The Usability Test roadmap was determined first within the scope of the work we conducted for Hürriyet Emlak Corporate web pages.

To determine the user audience ( persona ), which is the first step in the roadmap ;
– What does Hürriyet Emlak mean to its users?
– How often and for what purposes is Hürriyet Emlak used by its users?
– What common features do users have in terms of usage?
– What are the common transactions made by users at Hürriyet Emlak?
– What are the transactions that users do with ease and difficulty on Hürriyet Emlak?

Common user groups were created by searching for answers to such questions. Factors such as the frequency of use, their contribution to Hürriyet Emlak, and their impact on the environment were evaluated and prioritized, and the personas with whom we would conduct usability test interviews were determined.

After determining the personnel, the processes to be tested within the usability test were prioritized.

Test scenarios were prepared by asking questions such as which operations are critical for which persona, what areas to be observed and what areas to be considered.
