: Certainement pas « recherchez la facilité » (sens négatif/péjoratif en français, le plus souvent) et vos « réfs. » n'ont rien à voir avec le contexte.

Rendons les choses simples
puisqu'il s'agit de facilité d'accès sur le site d'après le contexte ici donné
Easy does it peut aussi avoir le sens de prendre son temps, d'être prudent mais pas ici je crois

En un mot: simplicité.
ça le fait! Rester simple, expliquer, éviter les complications...
Il faut trouver une accroche ici plutôt que de rendre tous les mots.

easy does it
phrase of easy
1.
used to advise someone to approach a task carefully and slowly.
"with father's wine in the back I mustn't drive too fast, so easy does it"
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/easy-does...
IOW "easy" in the sens of "do not rush/slow down" not "take it easy" yourself nor "make it easy" for someone else!

"Convenience is key" is the objective
what follows is a thorough / methodical / step by step approach to achieving this objective
the "easy does it" is about the method used, not the objective => no need to assume any unusual meaning for "easy does it"

: Step 2: Check your target language : « méthodiquement » et le style « pub/com » ne font pas bon ménage en français. /Daryo, il s'agit de « pub » ici : pas de mot à mot, mais attirer et convaincre le chaland.

"en toute décontraction"??? j'imagine difficilement une "approche décontractée" consistant à procéder de façon méticuleuse / avec le maximum d'attention au détails / sans prendre aucun raccourci ... !! // une très curieuse interprétation de "décontracté"!

lentement mais sûrement, en douceur !
lentement car il faut prendre le temps de clarifier les besoins et tout penser en termes de commodité du consommateur qui deviendra en douceur votre client !
Discussion
la simplicité, ça marche! / la solution est dans la simplicité / faire simple est la solution
easy does it = doing things the easy way gets results
a variation on KISS [Keep It Simple, Stupid!]
or of a more elaborate version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor
IOW I nearly walked straight into the trap of the "obvious meaning"!
Post festum, clues in the ST become "evident":
"To do that, insights about the customer journey are essential. Because what, when and where are they looking for?"
Sounds more like a thorough/methodical approach than "just do it the easy way"...
You could say that avoiding the trap of the apparently obvious meaning of "easy does it" is a case of / a proof of "Easy does it"!
