Optimising the digital checkout journey for home broadband and mobile plans

"They even prioritised our feature backlog, enabling us to launch changes in 3 days,

no external agency has done that for us"

⸻ Kate West, Product Manager, Exetel

Background

Exetel engaged Dlyte to assess the usability of their newly redesigned checkout experience. The goal was to determine whether the journey felt intuitive and seamless for users, while also providing Exetel with the confidence to move forward by identifying and eliminating friction points that could impact conversion.

Strategic Imperatives

Boost Conversion

Even small usability issues—like unclear terminology or late-stage surprises—undermine trust. Improving flow clarity, surfacing mobile add-ons earlier, and reducing cognitive load are essential to lifting conversion.

Position App as Service Enabler

App uptake was low due to unclear value. Strategically reposition the app as a core part of the service journey (activation, tracking, support) rather than an afterthought.

Humanise Technical Jargon

For mass-market users, acronyms like AVC ID and NTD create barriers. The imperative is to simplify and embed contextual education at the point of need, using plain language.

Our Approach

Methodology

Eight moderated usability sessions were conducted with participants representing Exetel’s target audience. Participants completed a dual-flow journey—ordering NBN and optionally bundling mobile services—using a high-fidelity prototype. Sessions were recorded and analysed against qualitative success criteria.

Impact & Outcomes

This usability evaluation identified key areas where the experience underperformed against success criteria—primarily comprehension of technical steps and the discoverability of bundled options. The findings informed strategic design improvements now underway to:

  • Reduce cart abandonment
  • Improve first-time completion rate
  • Strengthen customer confidence without additional support

Dlyte’s approach offered a human-centric view of digital success—aligning interface decisions with how users think, decide, and proceed through complex service purchases.
