Online store design · 2024

Herbaria

A handmade soap and natural cosmetics store from St. Louis. We designed the whole customer journey, from the home page to checkout, and built it into the UniTheme2 theme along with the upgrade to CS-Cart 4.18.

Task

The store ran on outdated templates. Keeping the old look alive was expensive, and next to competitors it looked dated.

The client asked us to keep the brand colors, use wide photos on the home page and avoid pop-ups. We built the design on UniTheme2: its ready-made features covered part of the brief, so less custom work was needed.

Before and after

The first screen on a 1280-pixel display: the site before the redesign (Wayback Machine snapshot) and the new home page mockup. Drag the divider.

Home page

  • The first screen is a wide product photo in a natural setting with search, and no pop-ups.
  • The summer sale strip scrolls sideways, and products go to the cart straight from the strip.
  • The “Buy 6, get the 7th free” offer is built into the home page and the product page.
  • Shipping terms by state sit next to the free shipping offer for orders over $55.

Finding the style

Before the final version we showed the client several home page concepts. The olive and cream palette and product shots in natural settings made it into the mockup.
