Project Scope

I worked as a Shopify designer and developer on this project which involved creating a large sitemap to the companies enormous stocklist.

I used UX practices to gather information on the companies competitors and design a store that would standout while giving existing customers a tailored user experience.

Design Challenges

Problem

Incorporate MEFs large stocklist into a manageable website while allowed for special customer prices tailored to individual users.

Solution

A product list designed around frequent customers and integrated special pricing that allowed individual users to connect to a unique price plan.

Front-end Development challenges

Developing a site of this scale on Shopify was challenging.

Implementing unique customer pricing rules on the back-end allowing for logged in users to purchase at their own price was a particularly challenging aspect.

Design Rationale

I was left to work on visual direction of the website as their was not allready strict brand guidelines in place.

Results

A user friendly store that effectively presents product and company information.

Reflections

Learning some of the intricacies of Shopify was challenging but set me up for creating future stores efficiently.
