Melika Alborzi
Last position:
UX/UI Designer at Twoloox GmbH
- Sole UX designer on a full product redesign and the foundations of a design system for Widget Designer, a B2B professional desktop tool for real-time media control used in live events and installations, working with a product manager and two engineers.
- Grounded the redesign in user feedback, a product audit, and competitor analysis, which surfaced where the tool's depth had outgrown its usability, leaving expert operators to manage complexity in live moments where errors are immediate and irreversible.
- Restructured the workspace, navigation, and panels around the operator's real workflow, so they keep the full depth of control while gaining the clarity to act with confidence under live pressure.
- Extracted a design system from the redesign: semantic color roles, component states, spacing rules, and reusable dialog and form patterns, with foundational accessibility built into color contrast and state feedback, validated through prototypes against the legacy codebase and giving design and engineering a shared foundation to build from consistently and at speed.

About the technology
What Hotjar does
Hotjar helps teams see how people use a website or product page. It combines heatmaps, session recordings, feedback polls, and surveys so experts can spot friction, understand intent, and improve conversion paths. Many companies also refer to it when they say Hotjar heatmaps or Hotjar recordings.
Common use cases
- Review where visitors click, scroll, and drop off
- Watch sessions to find broken flows or confusing UI
- Collect feedback on pages, forms, and checkout steps
- Test copy, layouts, and navigation changes with real behavior
- Support product, marketing, and UX decisions with direct evidence
Skills that matter
Strong Hotjar specialists read behavior, not just charts. They know how to define the right tracking setup, write useful survey questions, and connect findings with analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Tag Manager, or other product data sources. They also know how to separate signal from noise.
When companies bring in freelancers
Companies usually look for freelance expertise when they need a clean setup, a fast audit of user behavior, or a structured review before a redesign. Hotjar is often used alongside UX research, CRO work, and landing page optimization in Germany, especially when local teams need support in English and German.
What strong experts deliver
Good professionals do more than install a script. They configure the right views, define events, analyse recordings carefully, and turn findings into clear recommendations that designers, marketers, and product teams can act on. They also know when Hotjar is enough and when a deeper research method is needed.
How to choose well
Look for specialists who can explain what they will measure, why it matters, and how the results will change the page. A strong Hotjar expert will ask about your goals, your key journeys, and your current analytics stack before making suggestions. They should be practical, precise, and comfortable working with remote teams.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Hotjar? Start with the answers below.
Hotjar is used to understand how people interact with a website or product flow. Teams use it to review heatmaps, watch session recordings, and collect feedback that explains why users leave, hesitate, or convert. It is most useful when a team wants concrete behavior, not guesses.
Hotjar is broader than a single heatmap tool. It includes heatmaps, session recordings, polls, and surveys, so teams can combine visual behavior data with direct feedback. If someone only needs one feature, they may compare it with narrower tools, but Hotjar is often chosen for the mix.
A strong Hotjar specialist usually also understands UX research, conversion rate optimization, and analytics setup. Skills with Google Analytics, Tag Manager, A/B testing, and clear survey writing are especially useful. That mix helps turn observations into actions that teams can trust.
A Hotjar project can be simple or complex depending on the site and the goals. A basic setup and a focused review may only need one specialist, while a broader redesign or funnel audit needs someone who can connect findings across pages, audiences, and devices. The key is not time served, but judgment.
Yes, Hotjar work is well suited to remote collaboration. Most setup, analysis, and reporting can be done online, and many teams in Germany work this way with English or German communication depending on the audience. On-site sessions are only needed when the project depends on workshops or close stakeholder alignment.
A good Hotjar freelancer starts with your goal, not the tool. Look for someone who can explain tracking choices, identify meaningful patterns in recordings, and turn findings into clear next steps. The best specialists can also tell you where Hotjar is not enough and another research method is needed.
Hotjar is often used to diagnose weak landing page performance, confusing form fields, and navigation that pulls people away from the main action. Heatmaps show where attention goes, while recordings reveal hesitation, repeated clicks, and dead ends. That makes it useful for page audits and message testing.
Use Hotjar when analytics shows what is happening, but not why. It is helpful when traffic exists but people still do not convert, or when a team needs to understand behavior on a specific page, form, or checkout step. Many companies use it together with analytics, not as a replacement.
