Early triage helped customers define their needs quickly, reducing friction

Contextual options created a personalised, guided experience

Dynamic pricing updated screens as customers chose preferences for excess and cover, reinforcing transparency and building trust

User-centred design reiteration

User-centred design reiteration

Testing revealed that side-by-side comparison cards caused confusion, so expandable cards were introduced for clearer decision-making

Dynamic pricing updated in real time as customers adjusted their excess preferences

Moderated and unmoderated rounds using UserTesting validated comprehension and guided refinement throughout the process

Frequent user testing enabled a confident launch

Frequent user testing enabled a confident launch

Customers appreciated being asked their preferences up front

They understood options and valued clarity of costs as they explored cover options

A tailored upsell was well received in testing

Final prototype for launch

100% of participants described the journey as simple, logical and easy to follow, with the upsell feeling genuinely helpful rather than pushy.

Users quickly understood excess choices and were able to cover multiple services in one plan without hesitation, a notable shift from past propositions that created confusion.

Real-time pricing updates and clear cost breakdowns strengthened trust in the offer, supporting a stronger foundation for D&G’s wider home-cover strategy.
