Introduction

SendX is a powerful email marketing platform with features like segmentation, drip campaigns, and workflows. But that power was buried beneath a dense, outdated interface. New users struggled to get started, while existing users ran into friction across core workflows. Usability issues were stalling conversions, slowing growth, and limiting the platform’s potential.

SendX in a nutshell

Challenges
Solutions
Fragmented onboarding and first use
New users struggled with setup, especially when importing contact lists and getting started.
Guided, user-friendly onboarding
A streamlined flow made onboarding faster, easier, and more rewarding.
Inconsistent design slowed development
The lack of consistency made it hard to ship features like drip sequences and pop-up builder.
Design system enabled fast delivery
A shared design foundation helped scale the product with less friction.
Clunky email campaign creation
Setting up a one-off email campaign was slow and full of unnecessary friction.
Streamlined campaign builder
The builder was redesigned to make campaign setup faster and easier.
Unstructured navigation held back growth
The navigation wasn't well considered and made it hard to integrate new product features.
Flexible navigation built for scale
We restructured the navigation to support growth and make new features easier to discover.
Hidden features reduced adoption
Important features were buried and rarely used.
Key features shown at the right time
Relevant features were surfaced contextually in the UI.
