4. Description:
• Web user usually scan the contents of
webpage to figure out which is relevant to their
interest.
• Any description on webpage should be
abstracted and easy for scanning.
• The description of travel package is redundant
and not easy to scan.
• For example, “超豪歎慳 54%！上海 3 天套票極上
Four Seasons 住宿體驗會員獨家半價延住”, this
one is about package. “首爾來回機票出發日期任
揀夠彈性起飛至年尾賞紅葉季適用”, this one is
about ticket. User need to identify different
offers by themselves.
Short-Term Recommendation:
• Highlight the keyword of description to specify
the offer’s type and the feature. (Please check
example 1)
Long-Term Recommendation:
• Consider reorganize the description, emphasize
few items including price, offer type and offer

7. Description:
• Label is applied by user to predict what is the
contents of session. Clear and straight-forward
label help user to identify what they need
immediately.
• There are 3 labels, “Best Deals”, “Local Deals”
and “Travel Deals” which have similar meanings
that could confuse users. User would find
difficulty to identify them from one another.
Short-Term Recommendation:
• NA
Long-Term Recommendation:
• Rename the labels to present the feature of
each. For example:
• “Best Deals”: “Best” is too generic and we
need call-to-action word such as
“Limited”.
• “Travel Deals”: This is a travel app and
“Travel” is redundant. Since the offers are
worldwide, consider using “Worldwide”.
Ambiguous Labels 

8. Description:
• No matter clicking “Best Deals” or “Local
Deals”, it ended up to bring user to the same
search page. User would be confused that if
they click the right link.
• Different labels contain same destination page
that fails to help user to explore various
contents.
Short-Term Recommendation:
• NA
Long-Term Recommendation:
• Separate the destination page of 2 labels.
Different Labels end up the same page (Inappropriate structure)

9. Description:
• Mobile users scan thing quicker than website.
They intend to get the things needed
immediately. If they can’t get what they need,
they would leave and never come back.
• After clicking “Best Deals”, another page shows
up and ask for narrow down the result. This
page contains no content and is redundant for
user.
Short-Term Recommendation:
• Add a popup showing the search criteria
(Please check example 3)
Long-Term Recommendation:
• Redesign the page and present some hot,
limited deals in the page. Meanwhile, including
a navigation bar for user to explore deals of
different locations. (Please check example 4)
