Goal
The client’s goal was to build a modern, intuitive, easily reached a website that would meet the requirements of diverse user groups and would be found quickly online, especially via Google’s search engine.
To begin with, Paradyż carried out extensive research to obtain a better understanding of their website users’ and end customers’ requirements. The study also covered the purchasing process and it produced unique insights which could then be applied in creating the new portal.
The company invited MakoLab to the workshops which gave rise to a list of proposed functions dedicated to helping the website’s users quickly find the information they require in order to finalise their purchases. This includes inspirational designs and comprehensive search tools for navigating users towards products that match their given search criteria.
