How can an online experience increase awareness of their expertise, as well as support strategies that will grow their business, and continue to build customer trust and loyalty?
Prioritize educational content over product sales, and present the business with an expert brand and design system that allows them to grow their site and manage scaling up.
We were provided a lot of early ideas and existing documentation, but also carried out our own Brand Audit, Competitive Analysis, Industry and Audience Research. Our understanding was distilled into a Site Architecture, Content Outline, Wireframes, Visual Moodboards, and a Visual Direction document.
Next steps involved making refinements to the existing brand identity and crafting a visual language that could influence the UI components and page designs.
The website recently soft-launched, so data-driven results are still to be determined. However, there are plans for measuring changes in customer behavior: website traffic, online purchases, online subscriptions (loyalty program & email list), as well as changes to traffic in-store. This project has also initiated changes to process and organizational improvements within the business and behind the scenes.
I can’t thank you enough for all of your help with everything. You’ve been amazing! I’m so excited about where you’re taking us on the branding and design side of the business and I’m truly looking forward to the upcoming year. I think we have an awesome opportunity and can’t wait to work with you some more.
