The GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca platform recently underwent a redesign to enhance the user experience. By gathering insights from over 800 users and conducting a comprehensive study on financial literacy, the website owners identified opportunities to improve navigation and help users more easily find relevant educational content.

Some of the key changes included:
- Reorganizing the site architecture and navigation to have a simplified, learning-focused structure based on user research
- Integrating new AI tools to provide personalized content recommendations to each user
- Updating the visual design and appearance for improved usability and brand alignment
- Ensuring accessibility best practices were followed

Since launching the redesigned website, GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca has seen a significant enhancement in user interactions. Our redesigned navigation produced a 35% increase in task completion rate and a minimum of 20% faster average task time. The simplified navigation and AI-powered recommendations have made it easier for people to access resources relevant to their interests and needs.

By focusing on understanding users' needs and continuously improving the experience, GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca aims to provide an inclusive platform that empowers all Ontarians to make smart financial decisions and gain investing literacy.
