We redesigned the checkout flow with a step-by-step progress sidebar that keeps users oriented at every stage. A transparent cost breakdown updates in real time as users make selections.

The final solution introduced clearer program headers, transparent pricing, and a structured checkout flow built to reduce confusion and support confident purchasing decisions.
