Phase 1
Prototyping
European Gutters was attracting plenty of business, but their website was heavily outdated and didn’t match up to their professional reputation. The company needed a clean, modern web design and a new information architecture to help deliver the same value to customers online that their products provide to homes across the country.
We recognized that visitors had multiple purposes when using the European Gutters site, including researching the company, browsing the products, to accessing installation and maintenance resources. The user experience design needed intuitive navigation to facilitate clear paths to desired content — and to make that content easily browsable and searchable.
Phase 2
Style Concepts
European Gutters has a full catalogue of stunning photography from their many projects, and we gave their images centre stage in the new website design. The palette uses the orange and blue colour scheme from their existing branding, with coloured lines to help break up headings and copy in text-heavy content blocks. Vivid orange and blue CTA buttons emphasize next steps and guide users to relevant content.
Phase 3
Bringing it all together
The new European Gutters website is clean and professional, and facilitates a smooth experience for different visitor needs. Brand storytelling is boosted throughout the site, and the projects section provides a great opportunity to showcase their work and drive conversions. The product catalogue and resources were improved with enhanced filters for quicker, easier searches. Stronger product detail pages include galleries, descriptions, related resources and downloads, embedded testimonials, and lateral navigation opportunities. A post-launch SEO and digital strategy support partnership helps continue to drive traffic and engagement.
