IN RETROSPECT

01

Designing for E-commerce is Complex

Designing for e-commerce involves multiple layers ranging from organizing content for effortless navigation to optimizing microinteractions for smooth transactions. It's crucial not just to attract users for purchases, but also to guarantee a seamless experience, allowing for customer retention.

02

Branding Elevates Businesses

Effective branding not only establishes a unique identity but also fosters trust and differentiation, ultimately allowing a business to not only thrive but to stand out as a leader in its industry. It plays a pivotal role in creating lasting connections with customers, cultivating loyalty, and positioning the business as a trusted and memorable choice among its competitors.

THE INTRODUCTION

Balance Breens is a nutraceutical company known for its commitment to promoting holistic well-being. With over two decades of industry expertise, the company specializes in developing and manufacturing a wide range of dietary supplements, vitamins, and herbal products that cater to various aspects of physical and mental health. They prioritize transparency, quality assurance, and sustainability, ensuring consumers have access to safe and effective supplements.

Balance Breens has been facing the problem of more customers purchasing their supplements through Amazon instead of through their website, leading to reduced revenue. They would like to improve their website to encourage more direct purchases. They also want a compelling brand identity, including logo and packaging redesign, in alignment with their core concept of balance.

Essentially, Balance Breens wants us to

redesign their website and enhance logo and packaging designs to strengthen brand identity and drive direct purchases.
