Prototyping
Botanica came to us with a lot of great content and a compelling brand story. Where they needed help was helping visitors find relevant content quickly and effortlessly, and communicating their dedication and commitment to wellness through site-wide branded storytelling.
The biggest challenge would be implementing the right combination of browsing filters, galleries, featured content, embedded recipes, and lateral navigation opportunities, while still weaving that passion and purpose into new and existing pages.
Style
When we approached designing Botanica’s new site, we adopted same holistic style that is present in their new branding. We used the earth-tone colours from their packaging and photography campaign, as well as their bold typography to create a site that is clean and usable.
We took the ‘less is more’ approach, keeping the colour palette simple and subdued to showcase their beautiful product shots. Our goal was to showcase the products and to guide users to get the information they need, to encourage conversions.
Bringing it All Together
The new Botanica site brings their brand story to life through advanced home and product pages, as well as new pages that connect with visitors by sharing their mission, ingredient insights, and processes. A custom contact form and an improved Where to Buy section were developed for easier conversions. User experience is dramatically improved through intuitive search capabilities and related content recommendations. The new site elevates Botanica’s English and French content as a trusted educational resource on nutrition and wellness, and delivers a seamless e-commerce experience.
