Earthy Elegance
The UX and UI teams used best-practice techniques to simplify and modernize the site. Large, prominent spaces to display their stunning photography was important, and provided not only gorgeous but emotional moments.
The color palette of the brand cleverly uses organic and natural tones, which my team leveraged to make the site softer and more natural. An underlying alabaster color provided a canvas-like foundation which complimented the palette as well as the intricate product patterns.
Mobile First
Aside from being fully ADA compliant, fast and functional, the top priority was for the new site to be mobile first, since analytics showed that more customers viewed their site this way. The result, a stunning mobile brand ecommerce experience that was friendly to use and easily supported conversion.

Design Directions - Where It Started
Before we began what would become the beautiful UI designs you see above, Design Directions were created to determine an overall concept for the look & feel of the site. Three Design Directions were presented that ranged in tone and weight, with Concept 1 ultimately being chosen, as you can see above.
Concept 1 : Earthy Modern Classically Clean, Fresh, Light and Organic Color Palette
Concept 2 : Warm Focus Color-blocking, Focus on Close-up Imagery Showing Details/Quality, Hand-painted Artwork
Concept 3 : Deep Legacy Deeper Tones, Color Contrast, Bolder, Visual Legacy/History

Sophisticated eCommerce
Keeping it simple, clean, and purposeful was the goal of all steps through the purchase process. The Product Listing Page (PLP) shown here did just that. We shifted the overall color palette to white so that the larger product images would remain unchallenged by other visual distractions.
