Challenges
- The previous website design was created in 2013 and has had only minor design updates to the margins and header since.
- The landing page was not laid out effectively, displaying a variety of pictures along the top half of the page with lots of text along the lower half, with little to no white space to break up the text.
- Prices for each product were laid out badly and were not easy for the user to read, discouraging users from looking further.
- The site was not responsive, making it difficult to read on smaller screens like tablets or phones.
- Considerations had to be made toward the future, and how the company’s growth in the future might need to be reflected on the website.
- Meeting the high standards for the quality of imagery and layout with regards to the consumer.
Solutions
- Creating a visual appealing and professional website that builds trust with the user.
- The landing page created a balance between written and visual elements, mixing the two together and laying them out into easy to distinguish sections based on information.
- Prices were laid out into tables that are neat and easy to read and set up next to each other to see how prices between different options compare.
- Wholesale pricing was added, with coding in place on each product page to display prices based on if the user is logged into a wholesale account or not.
- The website was built on an e-commerce platform, so when the company is ready they will be able to accept order processing through the website.
- Site speed metrics were improved, supporting their SEO Marketing.
The Result
Vinyl Tech Signs now boasts a professional website that shows their ability to create signs. When a user visits the website, they have a welcoming experience that establishes trust and encourages them to look through and find what they need without much hassle. And with the addition of a wholesale option, wholesale users can see the prices they are receiving.
