Branding & Website Redesign

The Challenge - Rebranding the business and creating a new website that is more user friendly for user’s to place their orders online. The current site is very difficult to understand and has no brand identity.
The Solution - After thorough user research and user testing’s the following pain points were discovered.
User Pain Points:
The menu is hard to find and doesn’t list all the options. It is also hard to find any price points on the site.
Hard to understand the process and what happens after the order is made.
The site is glitchy and has no story of what the brand is about.
Not enough information on pricing or service details.
The solution is to focus on creating a new website focusing on solving those pain points. Refreshing the brand by giving it a new identity, color scheme, and story. Having a something user’s can identify with and relate to is important in order to establish a connection. Taking new photos to use on the site and update the Instagram feed will also help. Working with the client to create a price point for each service. Also incorporating a breakdown of what each service provides.
