Challenge

The current website had a confusing user experience was allowing for a decline in both product and spa sales. High bounce rates indicated that users were failing to engage in content.

Bamford wanted a digital transformation which would revolutionise their online experience and enhance their digital offering. They needed a high converting website that allowed for both product and spa sales. The site also needed to effectively support SEO and back of house operations including stock management and order fulfilment.

Strategy

Before entering the strategy stage, it was evident that two core user journeys of the site would be the Shop and Haybarn Spa.

Sitemap

A sitemap was drawn up to visualise the hierarchical structure of categories. This allowed for the organisation of how each page template would be linked together.

Wireframes

The wireframe journeys effectively mapped out the ways in which the user would be able to effectively achieve their goal. Clickable prototypes were built to allow for research and product testing before entering design and build.
