The Challenge

Make.com had a powerful integration platform but faced challenges with user adoption due to the learning curve of their visual builder. They needed to maintain the power and flexibility for advanced users while making the platform more accessible to beginners.

Technical Objectives

  • Create intuitive user experiences that simplify complex workflows
  • Build scalable architecture to support enterprise-grade requirements
  • Develop flexible integration capabilities with existing systems
  • Implement analytics to drive continuous product improvement

Our Technical Approach

We developed a comprehensive technical strategy that allowed Make.com to achieve their goals through a methodical and results-driven approach.

1. User Research & Segmentation

We conducted in-depth research with users across different technical backgrounds and use cases, creating detailed personas and journey maps that guided our design decisions.

2. Visual Builder Redesign

We reimagined the core builder interface with improved visual hierarchy, clearer data flow visualization, and contextual controls that appeared only when needed, reducing visual complexity while maintaining functionality.

3. Intelligent Onboarding System

We developed a contextual guidance system that adapted to user behavior, providing relevant tips and tutorials based on what the user was trying to accomplish and their level of expertise.

4. Template Ecosystem

We created a comprehensive library of scenario templates organized by industry, use case, and complexity level, allowing users to quickly implement common automation workflows and learn by example.

The redesigned builder has transformed how users interact with our platform. We've maintained all the power and flexibility that advanced users love while making the experience much more accessible to newcomers. The intelligent onboarding and template system have dramatically reduced the learning curve, allowing users to achieve value much faster than before.
