Driveway’s checkout had fallen out of sync with the product. Customer satisfaction was low, and conversions weren’t meeting expectations. I led a full redesign to streamline and optimize this critical experience.

Context
Driveway is a startup owned by Lithia Motors (NYSE: LAD), the largest new-car retailer in the US. During my time at Driveway I worked on redesigning the end-to-end customer shopping experience.While this project was named Checkout 2.0, this is not your typical "1-2-3 checkout". Buying a vehicle online involves many facets. The experience needed to accommodate unique flows for pre-owned and new cars, loan pre-qualification, financing, leasing, customer trade-ins, and home delivery scheduling.

Improve User Experience
When talking to customers one of the biggest complaints, was it was unclear to them what was involved, and what they would need to successfully complete their order. Customers wanted to know the exact steps, the information they needed, and to approximate how long the process would take. To solve this, I introduced a new interaction pattern that combined two of the primary customer needs, Order Progress and Order Details.

Price Transparency
Improving price transparency throughout the experience was a top priority. When choices were made that impacted a customer’s total cost, monthly payment, APR, or overall affordability, those outcomes were clearly communicated within the UI. I ensured that estimated costs and finance information were visible on all screens throughout the experience, working with the team to identify the best mechanism to communicate the information clearly.
