UX/UI & brand design

VTech Kids

Addressing a global audience of over 1,000,000 customers, this large-scale e-commerce website experiences nearly 10,000 daily visits. I focus on enhancing user experience and UI design while ensuring daily operations run smoothly and comply with global legal standards.

The challenge

Managing a high-traffic website presents numerous challenges that demand constant vigilance and innovation. Ensuring smooth daily operations involves improving user experience, facilitating easy navigation, and optimising for SEO and SEM to boost user engagement and drive traffic, thereby increasing sales and enhancing the company’s brand image. Staying abreast of emerging user requirements and maintaining consistency across various devices necessitates awareness of the latest technologies and design trends. Regular updates are crucial not only for compliance but also to ensure global accessibility. Implementing robust security measures is essential to protect sensitive data and maintain the platform’s integrity. Effectively addressing these challenges is vital for sustaining a positive corporate image in today’s dynamic digital landscape.

Redesign the Website

In response to the changing times and in line with the latest design trends, I improved the user experience through the redesign of the website. Emphasising the principles of mobile-first and user-centric design, I ensured that everyone, using any device, could seamlessly and efficiently browse the website and make purchases.

Landing Pages

Each brand features a dedicated page with unique elements that narrate the product’s story, enabling customers to gain deeper insights and increasing their purchasing intent.

Seasonal promotions and sales are crafted for special occasions such as Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas, and New Year, with bespoke landing pages designed to attract customers and boost sales.

Hero Banner

The hero banner is designed to captivate users’ attention upon arrival, showcasing featured products or promotions prominently.

Enhance the checkout process

Simplify the checkout process as much as possible. I am working to reduce the number of steps in the checkout, minimising the time users spend entering information. It’s important to ensure that users input their data accurately and enjoy the entire process, aiming to enhance the overall user experience.

Enhance the navigation

Improving website navigation is vital for creating a positive user experience and ensuring visitors can easily access the content they seek. Start by simplifying the menu structure, utilizing clear and concise labels for each category. A clutter-free menu with limited main items prevents user confusion and streamlines navigation. Employ intuitive design principles, ensuring that visitors can effortlessly locate information without unnecessary cognitive effort. Responsive web design is paramount, as it guarantees a seamless experience across various devices, including mobile platforms.

Incorporate a prominently placed search bar to facilitate quick content discovery, especially for users seeking specific information. Breadcrumbs contribute to user orientation, providing a visual trail of their journey within the site hierarchy. Consistency in layout, design, and placement of navigation elements across all pages enhances predictability for users, fostering a sense of familiarity.

Optimising loading speed is essential to prevent user frustration and bounce rates. Encourage user feedback through surveys, analytics, and testing to continuously refine and enhance the navigation experience. Accessibility considerations, such as alternative text for images and keyboard navigation, make the website inclusive to users with disabilities.

By implementing these strategies, I created an efficient and user-friendly navigation system, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction and engagement.

Mobile-First EDM Design

The first engaging EDM targets the mass audience, increasing the opportunity for the product to reach the public and enabling customers to stay updated on the latest company developments. Prioritising mobile-first is crucial, I ensure that every email we send can be seamlessly read on all different devices without any barriers.

Web Accessibility

Web accessibility is crucial in establishing an online environment that is inclusive, guaranteeing equitable access to information and services for individuals with disabilities. I collaborate with allyant to ensure compliance with legal standards, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), showcasing a dedication to inclusivity and preventing potential legal complications. Additionally, accessible design broadens the audience reach, improves the user experience for everyone, and aligns with corporate social responsibility.

Given that search engines prioritise user-friendly websites, adhering to accessibility principles can also enhance search engine rankings. Ultimately, web accessibility is a forward-thinking practice that benefits our users as our website continues to evolve.
