Statement
The existing unauthenticated claims experience throughout statefarm.com lacks clarity specific to guidance on the claims process and effective education on claims. The entire unauthenticated experience is siloed and does not encourage customers to explore self-service channels when filing, managing, or looking for information. Ultimately, in the unauthenticated space, customers are not empowered to self-manage their claim causing them to leave the digital channel and call SF or their agent.
What Customers Want:
•A more connected experience
•Self Service
•Education / Help
Information Architecture Findings
•L0, L1, L2, and L3 all have a disjointed experience.
•No consistent connections with other holistic initiatives.

UI / UX
Changes
Carousel Issues
-
The carousel does not tell users how many items it contains and what they could expect to see by clicking the arrow.
-
Users may not want to take the effort to discover the underlying items. It is also not efficient for customers to discover the items one by one.
-
It is also not apparent to the user that "Auto + Motorcycle" is the default claim.
