TSIA.com 2.0: Redesigning the Digital Front Door

Role

Senior UI/UX Designer

Timeline

February 2024 – September 2024

Team

Sr. Director of Design, PMS, and engineering

Overview

Problem

TSIA.com no longer reflected the company’s evolution from delivering research as downloadable PDFs to providing a modern SaaS platform, making it difficult to communicate the value of membership and the new product experience.

My role

Led the UX and visual design for TSIA.com 2.0, owning information architecture, navigation, wireframes, component design, high-fidelity UI, and implementation in Webflow while collaborating with leadership and development partners.

Outcome

Delivered a complete redesign of TSIA.com, creating a modern gateway to the TSIA member experience, improving content discoverability, and establishing a new visual language.

Context + Problem

TSIA was undergoing a major transformation. The organization was rebranding while shifting from delivering research primarily through PDFs to a SaaS platform where members could access research directly online.The existing website no longer reflected the company’s vision or product experience.

How might we redesign TSIA.com to better communicate the value of membership while supporting the company’s new SaaS strategy?

Business Goals

  • Modernize the TSIA brand
  • Better communicate the value of membership
  • Create a scalable foundation for future growth
  • Improve content discoverability

User Goals

  • Understand TSIA’s products and services
  • Discover relevant research and resources
  • Explore content across devices
  • Easily navigate to the member portal

Designing the experience

I led the UX direction for the redesign, creating a scalable experience that balanced marketing goals with member needs. My responsibilities included:

  • Information architecture and sitemap planning
  • Navigation redesign
  • Wireframes and high-fidelity UI
  • Component library and design system
  • Responsive page designs
  • Webflow implementation and design QA

Throughout the project, I partnered closely with Marketing, leadership, content teams, and our Webflow development partner to guide implementation and maintain design quality from concept through launch.

Key Design Challenges

Aligning diverse stakeholders

Marketing, Product, and executive leadership each brought different priorities. Regular design reviews helped build alignment while keeping the project moving.

Balancing flexibility with consistency

The site needed to support a wide range of marketing content while maintaining a cohesive visual language and reusable component library.

Designing for a changing business

The website needed to introduce a new SaaS experience while preserving TSIA’s reputation as a trusted source of industry research.

Validation

Throughout the redesign, I facilitated recurring design reviews with directors and senior leadership to validate design direction, gather feedback, and resolve competing priorities before implementation.I also incorporated accessibility recommendations from previous audits and reviewed live implementations to ensure design quality and consistency throughout development.

Impact

Recognized with TSIA's Rising Star in Design Excellence Award for contributions to the successful redesign.

The digital front door

Delivered TSIA.com 2.0 as the digital front door for TSIA's new SaaS platform and company rebrand.

A scalable UX foundation

Established a scalable UX foundation through reusable components, navigation patterns, and design standards.

Cross functional launch

Aligned Marketing, leadership, and development throughout the redesign, helping bring a complex cross-functional initiative to launch.

Reflection

A clear vision keeps large projects aligned. Defining the strategy, objectives, and purpose for each page helped guide design decisions and keep stakeholder discussions focused.

Enterprise redesigns require alignment as much as design. Bringing together Marketing, leadership, and development was just as important as creating polished interfaces.

Design systems scale better than individual pages. Leading my first enterprise website redesign shifted my thinking from designing pages to creating a cohesive experience that could evolve with the business.
