The Brief
Design and Quality sources the most exciting and originally designed brands from Scandinavia to represent them in the UK retail market. These products are made with outstanding quality, in the country where they are created. I was tasked with designing and building a new web presence which worked across multiple platforms. Focusing on the products whilst not losing the identity of being an agent. The website had a completion deadline of two months due to an upcoming trade show.
The Process
A design style was agreed upon early in the process. Minimal, clear, with plenty of white space to allow the product images to be the focal point. We started by looking at product lead websites for inspiration, paying close attention to how products and their descriptions were represented.
Having acquired enough knowledge from the research stage we discussed and explored layouts using wireframe sketches before proceeding to create design visuals.
The design visuals retained our early vision for the website, keeping it clean and product focused. The use of orange was reserved for key call to actions such as links. After establishing the look of the website it was built into a functional website integrated with Perch Content Management System. A training session was given on completion of the site, giving Design and Quality the ability to update the website going forward.
Client Testimonial
"I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Having found her by doing a simple Google search I initially had slight misgivings about going with an independent web designer I had never met, but soon found that any misgivings were completely unfounded. From the first email contact she proved to be extremely professional and a real pleasure to work with. She was able to help and guide me from the outset through the process of building a website from scratch - a process which I initially found very daunting! Her skills in all areas are second to none and I now have a highly professional, bespoke website. I would be more than happy to give a reference to anyone who is considering using Sarah."
