Introduction
Not your average dating website filled with algorithms and swiping, It’s Just Lunch brings together the right people by using the intuition and expertise of their certified matchmakers. We helped them ring in their 30th anniversary with a website redesign.
The Challenge
In preparation for their 30th anniversary, It’s Just Lunch was looking to completely revamp their existing website. They were open to all sorts of UX/UI changes — everything from the color palette to the site navigation to even a logo refresh. The main challenge was that It’s Just Lunch utilizes a franchise model and needed to run all changes by their franchisees to make sure that they were on board with the new look and feel of their site.

The Solution
We researched key competitors to see what was working for them, and what wasn’t. This helped inform our new site map and user flows, in an effort to streamline the experience and get the user to funnel toward a contact page. With this in mind, we got to work on integrating new versions of the homepage, exploring many different directions in which to take the site.
Ultimately, we settled on a full-screen scroll so that the user isn’t presented with too much information at once. They are able to focus on the parts of the story that helped them build up enough trust to take the next step in the sign-up process. We experimented with many different versions of a new logo but ultimately decided on a refresh due to its recognizability for franchisees.

Research
Our research mainly consisted of a robust analysis of the It’s Just Lunch competitors. We took a look at what was working, what wasn’t, and how their flows could be improved.
Planning
We created site maps and experimented with user flows to give us a good understanding of what the redesigned site would look like.
With these new maps and flows in hand, we began with wireframes to give us a rough idea of how each page would be structured and ramped up in fidelity once approved.
Design
We went through many different iterations of the It’s Just Lunch design, focusing mainly on a full-screen scroll so that the user was only presented with one section at a time.
