User research

To ensure the flight booking website met the needs of our target audience, we conducted comprehensive user research. This phase included:

Surveys and Interviews: We gathered insights from potential users about their booking habits, preferences, pain points, and desired features.
Competitive Analysis: We analyzed existing flight booking platforms to identify strengths and weaknesses, focusing on user engagement and satisfaction.
Persona Development: Based on our findings, we created detailed user personas representing different segments of our audience, such as business travelers, vacationers, and budget-conscious flyers.

This research informed our design decisions and helped us prioritize features that would enhance usability and customer satisfaction.
