Old Landing Page Experience

Old Layout

The old layout consisted of 3 sections:

Left: Navigation menu for switching pages

Middle: Main content area (changed based on left nav selection)

Right: Account tools (bill pay and SaksFirst account management)

Pain Points

Too many clicks

the user has to get the information by clicking on the links on the left hand nav.

Hard to compare tiers

It's important to be able to compare the different tiers and perks, they all exist in their own page so the information doesn't feel cohesive. 

Outdated design

The overall look feels outdated and wasn't responsive. The copy also didn't feel friendly and would often run too long

New Landing Page Experience

Proposed Layout

Content hierachy

Establishing content hiearchy to make it easier for users to read the content and get a better understanding of the program.

From multiple pages to single page

Turning pages into sections. Making navigating content easy with the use of a sticky subnav.

Responsive and dynamic layout

Using dynamic text instead of static images and responsive breakpoints to ensure a consistent experience between desktop and mobile.

SaksFirst Beauty Landing Page

SaksFirst Beauty is a tiered rewards program from Saks Fifth Avenue, created exclusively for SaksFirst credit card holders.

Members earn access to curated “Beauty Boxes” filled with deluxe samples from luxury beauty brands when they shop beauty
with their card.

To better showcase the program, the loyalty team requested a dedicated landing page highlighting each Beauty Box and the rewards members can unlock at different spending tiers.
