A key business goal of this homepage redesign was to drive transaction frequency and volume by elevating the visibility of the membership tier system. But giving membership benefits the spotlight meant taking over the homepage's prime visual space, which directly displacing the three core transaction functions previously placed at the top: Transfer, Pay, and Scan.The challenge is to yield the homepage's prime placement to membership without sacrificing the exposure or usage of core transactions.

Copying LINE Pay feels safe but invites the "why the same as competitors" critique. Differentiating risks higher learning cost and lower task completion.

The panel exists to shorten task time. I kept the familiar swipe-to-expand to minimize learning cost, and pushed differentiation into a three-tier height system that adapts to the user's context.

Solid brand red maximizes the panel's weight but unbalances the homepage.Dropping red entirely weakens the panel's brand identity and signals lower functional importance.

I solved this with onboarding instead of restructuring. The panel's primary functions are payment, transfer, and scan,the carrier barcode is just a power-user shortcut, not worth reworking the entry point for temporary unfamiliarity. Onboarding is a low-cost transitional fix, to be validated with post-launch data.

Multi-goal interfaces: break down goals before assigning visual weight

The homepage had to carry both membership tier visibility and three core transactions features. Visual weight followed each goal: membership needs to be seen, transactions need to be used quickly.

Major IA changes require transitional design

60% of users couldn't find the carrier barcode is predictable in hindsight, since muscle memory takes time to rebuild. My blind spot was scoping the design to "is the new architecture usable," without treating the transition from the old one as part of the problem. Onboarding isn't a post-test patch; it's a design moment to plan alongside any major IA shift.
