Send a persona through your website.

Fieldtrip sends a believable person through your site: a persona with a name, habits, and a job to do, browsing in a real Chrome browser and thinking aloud the whole way. You tell us who your customers are, and we hand back a UX report covering where they hesitated, what broke, and what to fix.

TRIP TICKET · Nº 001

The persona

Margaret, 68, retired teacher. Comfortable with email, wary of anything that asks for her card too early.

The intent

Book two tickets to Saturday's exhibition and find out if there's parking nearby.

Dest: yoursite.comGate: Chrome
00:41"Okay, 'Visit' or 'What's on'… I want tickets, so probably 'What's on'?"
01:12HESITATION"This calendar wants a date before it shows me prices. I just want to see the price."
02:03"There's the exhibition. Clicking 'Book now'."
02:47WIN"Oh good, it remembered I picked Saturday. Two adults… done."
03:20HESITATION"Where would parking be? Nothing in the footer. I'd probably just Google it."

The route

Three stops from persona to report.

You brief us, we run the trips, and the report lands in your inbox within days.

1

Brief us on the traveller

Tell us who visits your site and what they come to do. We shape that into specific personas with names, habits, and worries. "Margaret, 68, wary of card forms" finds different problems than "a user".

2

We run the trip

Each persona browses your live site in a real Chrome browser, narrating every decision in character. Alongside them, an independent observer records every click, every screenshot, and every request that fails.

3

Read the report

You get a report that walks the journey step by step: every hesitation and why it happened, confirmed breakage, screenshots of exactly what the persona saw, and a ranked list of fixes.

Field notes

What comes back from the trip.

Two observers travel together: the persona narrating their experience, and an independent instrument watching the wire.

🗣️

Think-aloud transcript

The persona narrates every decision in character, with explicit HESITATION: and WIN: markers. You read exactly where they paused, what they expected, and what they found instead.

🔍

Honest breakage detection

An observer flags failed requests, console errors, and 4xx/5xx responses on pages the persona actually visited. Bot-defence noise and tracker chatter are classified out, so what remains is breakage a human would hit.

📸

Screenshots at every step

Each navigation and action is captured, so the report shows what the persona saw at the moment they said it. No reconstructing state from memory afterwards.

🗺️

The journey, mapped

The report walks the route page by page: where the persona went, why they chose each link, and where the path they wanted didn't exist.

🛠️

A ranked fix list

Findings arrive as concrete recommendations ordered by how badly they blocked the intent, so you know what to fix first.

📄

Shareable HTML + PDF

Every run renders to a self-contained HTML report with one-click PDF export. Drop it in Slack or attach it to the ticket.

Departures

Your first persona can leave this week.

Tell us about your site and who uses it. We'll propose the trips worth running and have the first report back within days.
