Redesigning a Remote Job Board Homepage
A modern, user-focused homepage redesign that improved navigation, trust, and engagement for a leading remote job board.
The Challenge
SkipTheDrive, a remote job board established in 2013, had an outdated homepage that no longer met the needs of modern job seekers. The platform struggled with low engagement, difficult navigation, and an outdated visual design. Users found it challenging to browse job listings efficiently, and the lack of mobile optimization and social proof made the experience less engaging.
The goal was to transform the homepage into a more engaging, accessible, and conversion-friendly landing page that:
- Simplified navigation for job seekers
- Highlighted extensive job listings more effectively
- Boosted user engagement and time on site
- Strengthened brand trust through social proof
Strategic Design Approach
Enhanced Job Search Experience
- Streamlined the “Browse by Category” section with a dropdown menu, reducing clutter.
- Improved job findability with better content organization.
Visual & Content Refresh

- Implemented visual hierarchy strategies to guide user focus and engagement.
