Phase one – stop the bleeding.
The first phase focused on identifying the key challenges affecting Garden247’s website and establishing a stable foundation for a better online shopping experience. The primary objective was to address potential usability issues, improve website functionality, and ensure customers could browse gardening products with greater ease and confidence. We emphasized simplifying navigation, organizing product categories, improving access to product information, and creating a more consistent experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Special attention was given to the essential elements of the e-commerce journey, including product discovery, category browsing, product details, and the overall shopping flow. By focusing on these core areas, the goal was to reduce unnecessary friction, make the website easier to navigate, and help customers find the products they need without confusion. We also considered website responsiveness, loading performance, and the consistency of key interface elements to support a smoother and more reliable browsing experience.
